Paul John Xmas 2024 edition: another collector’s delight

Goa-based John Distilleries Ltd. has put out the 7th edition of its much-anticipated Paul John Christmas Edition 2024. This unpeated Indian single malt, with just 6,600 bottles is a much-sought-after collector’s whiskey.

Matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in Caribbean rum casks, this rare expression is skilfully vatted with malt finished in virgin oak casks. Presented at 46% ABV with no added colours or flavours, it is a testament to the brand’s unrelenting dedication to creating award-winning exquisite whiskey experiences.

From its deep gold hue, this whiskey offers exotic aromas of ripe mango and pineapple, interlaced with sweet vanilla cake. The palate reveals flavours of spice balanced with coconut, candied orange and toasted oak.

The finish is indulgently rich, with notes of fruit tart, salted toffee, and chewy tannins.

“We are thrilled to release the 7th edition of our exclusive Christmas Edition series,” said Paul P. John, Chairman of JDL, at its launch recently. “Each annual release inspires us to elevate the quality and experience of our festive single malts. We hope this edition adds warmth to celebrations this holiday season.”

In just over a decade, Paul John whiskey has become the most awarded single malt in Asia, earning over 320 prestigious awards globally. These accolades include double golds at the San Francisco World Spirits Awards, chairman’s trophies at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge UK, etc.

The Paul John Christmas Edition 2024 is now available at select retailers across key global markets and in India with a suggested retail price of ?7,000 to ?12,000 (in different markets) for a 750-ml festive pack. For more information, visit www.pauljohnwhisky.com.
