Goa, India is 5000 miles from Islay, but closer than you think.

Paul John Distilleries was founded by Paul P. John in 1992 in India. To say that their growth has been amazing is to seriously understate things, because in just twenty years they have become one of the largest independent Spirits companies in the world. From their three large production facilities they serve up a broad range of products, including Wines, Brandies, Whiskies, and specialty spirit brands.

As we’ve mentioned before, the Paul John line of Single Malts are created in their newest distillery in Goa on the west coast of central India. All seven varieties have won international awards for quality — and those awards are well-deserved. Paul John Bold is a Single Malt made from local six-row barley, dried over peat imported from Islay. This is where the word "Bold" in the name comes to life. The phenol level (amount of peat flavor) comes in at 25 ppm — right in the middle range. Even an experienced Whisky pro would likely think he was tasting a classic Islay in a blind taste test.

One might think it’s too hot in India to make Whisky, but one would be wrong. The average temperature in the regions with the largest single-malt distilleries is 85°F, which is close to conditions in which Kentucky Bourbon is made.
India consumes 370 million gallons of Whisky per year, but outside the borders their production isn’t known for being top notch (mostly due to the fact that the majority of Indian Whisky is made from molasses and hence of lower quality). But there are some prodigious exceptions: Armut Fusion, for instance, was the third best Whisky in the world in 2010 according to Whisky Bible, while more and more new fine Whisky is being made each year.
John Distilleries manufactures the world’s seventh-largest Whisky brand - Original Choice; over 15 million cases have been sold.
India is the world’s leading Whisky market. It has double sales volume of the next four followers combined: 1.4 billion litres a year!
