Paul John 2014 SMWS 5 Year Old 134.7

'A dreamer's dram'

John Distilleries was founded in Bangalore, India in 1992 by Paul P. John. The company produces a range of spirits, including brandy and vodka, and their earliest steps into the whisky market were with their Original Choice blend, which quickly became a hit in its domestic market. It was not until 2008 that the company decided to lay down single malt at its distillery in Goa, and launched its single malt brand in 2012. Named Paul John after its founder, it was introduced at The Whisky Show in London in 2012 via a limited single cask release, and a portfolio of permanent bottlings were launched the following year. The distillery produces non-peated, medium and heavily peated single malts, showcasing each through its core range.

This whisky was distilled on 31th January 2014 and aged in a second-fill ex-Bourbon cask for 5 years.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) was founded in 1983 by a group of friends lead by tax accountant Phillip ‘Pip’ Hills as a private members club. The concept behind the society was to source casks from all over Scotland which would then be bottled and made available exclusively to its members. Perhaps the most famous feature of these bottles are the unique codes. Each distillery is represented by a different number and the following digits indicate that particular release. That same year, the SMWS set up its first location in Leith’s Vault buildings in Edinburgh where it still stands today.

One of 215 bottles.
