Paul John Brilliance is an unpeated Indian single malt from Goa, offering a honeyed, gently spicy introduction to the distillery’s style. Demerara sweetness, cocoa and vanilla give it an inviting character, with a smooth texture and a relaxed finish.
Made from Indian six-row barley and matured in bourbon casks, it brings together malt richness and American-oak influence in a whisky shaped by Goa’s tropical setting. Sweetness leads, while a light touch of spice adds definition.
An appealing choice for drinkers exploring Indian whisky, Brilliance suits those who enjoy rounded, sweetly malty flavours and enough depth to reward slow sipping.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Demerara sugars give off a whiff of sweet fragrances, with a hint of cinnamon, dash of honey and faint spices.
Palate: The honey-like smoothness is offset by the crunchy-bar-like crispness. Somewhere, there is also a tinge of cocoa.
Finish: Brilliance has a smooth and beautifully relaxed finish, with a hint of mild spices and deep intense vanilla.
