An intense, Indian Single Malt Whisky by John Distilleries in Goa, India made from local malted barley, but the peat is imported from Scotland; aged in ex-Bourbon casks & bottled without chill-filtration at cask strength (55.5% ABV). It has an aromatic birth with notes of light peat smoke & roasted walnuts with salted caramel; while a complex life adds notes of oak, honey, campfire smoke, warm herbs, warm spice, and hints of papaya; that leads to a long & complex death with notes of dried orange, rose & malted barley. The high alcohol masks the signature potpourri notes. July 2019 / September 2021 / July 2022
