This Paul John expression has been bottled at 48% after finishing in PX Sherry casks.
Producer Tasting Note
"Hailing from the tropical shores of Goa, this exotic Indian single malt, in rich shades of dark copper, has complex aromas of fig and apricot with a rare hint of banana. On the palate are tremendous flavours of sweet barley with creamy butterscotch, dry fruits and a profuse Christmas cake. The finish is long and exquisite, with delectable chocolate fudge, delicate orange peel and hints of exotic wine drenched nuts. Much of the intrinsic characteristics of the Paul John PX owes allegiance to the famed intensely sweet and dark Spanish dessert sherry, having been gloriously finished in handpicked Pedro Ximenez casks."

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Pralines and beer nuts, Caramilk bars, apple chips, dried apricots, oatmeal with brown sugar, shortbread with cinnamon sugar topping, and a touch of Tawny Port.
Palate: Big rich sherry notes, though it doesn’t go into full maple syrup mode like some PX finishes seem to. Very starchy and nutty with more praline notes. More of an Oh Henry bar note on the palate. Sponge toffee and Coffee Crisp notes in there as well as some dates and dried mango.
Finish: Long, nutty and just a touch drying with a hint of amaro-like bitterness.
Comment: This is a wonderfully decadent single malt with plenty of chocolate, toffee and nut notes. Somehow it manages to be rich without being cloying which is impressive. I want another dram of this already, and my glass isn’t even emptied yet.
