Paul John Pedro Ximenez Select Cask / 48%/ 0.7l

John Distilleries Ltd has been producing blended whisky since 1992 and malt whisky since 2008.

While blends do not meet the European Union standards set for whiskey (they are blended on the basis of sugar molasses), single malts, which reached the old continent in 2012, have gained a lot of supporters. They are distilled from 6-row barley grown at the foot of the Himalayas and partially aged in an underground, air-conditioned warehouse. Paul John Pedro Ximénez Select Cask debuted in the fall of 2019 with the Oloroso Select Cask edition. After a maturation period of about 5 years spent in bourbon barrels, the whiskey was finished for several months in Pedro Ximénez sweet sherry barrels and bottled without chill filtration at 48% alcohol.

Aroma: sweet dried fruit, figs, dates, apricots, orange peel, milk chocolate, honeyed nuts, cappuccino and a trace of leather.

Taste : fruity with a subtle spiciness, oranges, sultanas, nectarines, milk fudge, Christmas fruit cake, roasted nuts and almonds, notes of cinnamon and ginger.

Finish : quite long, with notes of dried fruit, mixed nuts, milk chocolate, licorice and candied ginger.
