Paul John Christmas Cream Cask (2025 Edition), 48%

Price: 85 Issue: Spring 2026 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Indian Whisky

The olfactory senses appreciate the 2-year finish in cream sherry casks, which brings dried red berries, plum, black pepper, orange zest, and dried stone fruits. This 8 th Christmas edition is expressive and satisfying, with good weight on the tongue, showing active spices, honey, and citrus, then walnut, cinder toffee, raisin, and apple pie, and a finish that ebbs and flows between butterscotch sauce, candied apple, and toffee.
