Description

A whisky distillery in Goa, India, founded in 1996 by Paul P. John and part of the John Distilleries group. It laid down its first casks of single malt whisky in 2007 and launched its eponymous whisky brand in 2012. This exotic unpeated expression from the sunny shores of Goa, encapsulates a tender innocence enhanced with hints of honeyed fruitiness and a soft tinge of spice. Matured for 7 years in American white oak casks, it is a limited edition single malt.
