Barley from the Tibetan plateau, port casks from the Douro valley and a swag of gold medals for the distillery: Indulge your whisky wanderlust with Paul John Port Cask.
The super-dark mahogany colour gives more than a hint of the decadent ripe blackberries, dark chocolate, sweet smoked spice and dried fruit inside, not to mention the luxuriously honeyed soft oak finish of this single malt.
Paul John is the only single malt in the illustrious Sazerac stable, so you know this is going to be seriously good. The whisky nerds among you will know Sazerac is home to cult favourites George T. Stagg, W. L. Weller and the holy grail of bourbon that is Pappy Van Winkle.
Master Distiller Michael D’Souza’s beyond proud of this Port Cask release: ââ‚?em>This is special to me,ââ‚?/em> he says. “This is the very first release of this product and I'm extremely excited to have it released for The Whisky Club.ââ‚?/em> You’re excited Michael? You should see the enthusiasm levels here at Whisky Club HQ!
As far as whiskies you might know that are in the same ballpark, think Dalmore Port Cask, Glenmorangie Malaga, Bushmills Banyuls or GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10. Aberlour and The Macallan are also up there. Seriously, if you love traditionally Sherried Scotch, this one will tick a huge number of boxes for you.
