Description from the seller
Paul John Mithuna, a single malt whisky from the Zodiac series by John Distilleries, is bottled at 58.0% ABV and has a volume of 700 ml. Named after the Indian equivalent of Gemini, the third Zodiac sign, this whisky is part of Batch 1, which was released on November 23, 2020. It is matured in American virgin oak casks with a finishing period in ex-bourbon casks, and is non chill-filtered to preserve its natural flavors.
The maturation process in Goa's tropical climate accelerates the aging, contributing to the flavor profile of the whisky. As a product of the Zodiac series, Paul John Mithuna exemplifies the craftsmanship involved in producing Indian single malt whiskies.
Tasting notes:
An very interesting and tasty dram. This is a thick big virgin-oaky bruiser, more reminiscent of virgin-oak-matured hot-climate American single malts than, for example, Amrut. There’s plenty to like here if the virgin oak doesn’t bug you – Great complexity on the nose, excellent mouthfeel and structure on the palate, a good long finish, and big flavours throughout.
Nose
Nutty and spicy, with lots of that virgin oak influence showing through. It reminds me of some of the virgin-oak-matured American single malts I’ve tried. Strong cooked sugar, browned butter, and poppyseed bagels. Spicy cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as some cocoa powder. There’s a hint of fruit – some blueberries maybe, along with candied orange and vanilla-poached pear. There’s a particular musty nuttiness, that for me is a dead ringer for uncooked aged basmati rice.
Smaak
Thick texture. Arrives with thick malt, toffee, and baking spices, then candied lemon and orange. Big dusty spicy oak and toasted nuts on the development, with hay and yet more cooked sugar. Strong chocolate, cinnamon, and black tea. A hint of earthiness and blueberry.
Finish
Medium-long. Loads of roasted malt and chocolate. Chocolate orange, chocolate-covered almonds, and buttered popcorn. Smoky oak and cane sugar cola. Lingering coffee and butter.
