There’s no better way to end a busy year than with a Christmas-themed whisky. I won the Paul John Christmas Edition 2022 single malt from Master of Malt’s #WhiskySanta last year. This holiday season feels like the perfect time to finally open it.

Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whisky from the Paul John Distillery in Goa India.
Peated whisky is a divisive topic—some adore it, while others find it overwhelming. When I started drinking whisky, I could not appreciate the heavily peated drams. But as I explored more, I began to appreciate the earthy, smoky complexity they offer.
I started 2022 with a bold sherried expression from India when I tasted the Paul John Oloroso Select Cask whisky, and today I continue the drams from the Indian continent. The Paul John Bold Indian single malt is a peated whisky released by the John Distillery in 2015.
At the start of December 2021, I tasted the Paul John PX Cask Indian single malt whisky. A rich and dram from India that is ideally suited for winter sipping. December in South Africa is during summer, and as lovely as the PX Cask was, I am keeping my bottle for winter. The Paul John Master Distiller, Michael D’souza, also released an Oloroso Select Cask finish Indian single malt whisky.
Something sweet to start December on; the Paul John PX Select Cask Indian single malt whisky. Sherry reminds me of December and my Dutch grandmother. During the festive season, she enjoyed a late afternoon sherry on the patio.
