Paul John Christmas Edition 2019
Single Malt — Goa , India
Reviewed
December 2, 2020 (edited December 24, 2020)
Nose - Fresh red apples, hint of dried cranberries, honey, faint cinnamon & clove spices
Taste - Black peppercorn & charcoal filtered unsweetened apple juice, super light smoke presence, light metallic/charcoal, hint of dried red berries
Finish - Light fruity apple, light charcoal/metallic lingers, super light red berry
Score - 64/100
Final Thoughts - This started out with a somewhat promising nose, a bit light, but pleasant. It starts out nice once it hits the palate, but then nothing really changes and you're left with a very generic filtered apple juice sweet with this weird metallic/charcoal vibe. There MIGHT be a hint of peated whisky in this one, or maybe they just didn't rinse out their previous run of peated whisky or something. The finish is fairly short, which in this case is good, because the metallic/charcoal vibe is a bit weird.
Would I drink it if offered? - No
Would I specifically order it? - No

I had the 2018 one, which was really good.
That's disappointing. I'd been pretty optimistic about this distillery.
