Paul John Indian Single Malt Whisky, produced at John Distilleries in Goa, India, announced the release of its Paul John Christmas Edition 2021.

The fourth debut in the annual series, the whisky is non chill-filtered with no added colors or flavors. Paul John Single Malts are created from six-row barley harvested from across Rajasthan to the foothills of the Himalayas and distilled in specially-designed copper pot stills.

To create Paul John Christmas Edition 2021, the liquid is then matured in ex-bourbon barrels and a mélange of port and madeira casks in coastal Goa, where the tropical climate helps the whiskies mature faster with an angel’s share of eight percent.

Paul John Christmas Edition 2021 joins the Great Indian Single Malt portfolio alongside core and additional limited-edition expressions including Nirvana, Brilliance, Edited, Bold, Classic Select Cask, Peated Select Cask, Pedro Ximénez (PX) Select Cask, Oloroso Select Cask and The Zodiac Series.

The new release will will be available in the U.S. at a suggested retail pricing of $84.99 (750ml/92 proof) in mid-October 2021.
