“Chewing nutty chocolate with coconut!!! Has to be one of the most underrated malts ever. This is incredible! ”

Description

Produced by John Distilleries in Goa, India, the Paul John range of single malt whiskies is named after their Chairman. Made using Indian 6-row barley from the Himalayan foothills, Brilliance is matured in bourbon barrels for 3-5 years before bottling at cask strength. (As with other Indian single malts, the tropical climate causes greater evaporation, around 12-13% a year, but in turn they show very well at younger ages.)

Nose

Good core of juicy barley. Ryvita with salted butter. Cinnamon-dusted-red berries, with a little green apple skin following it up.

Palate

Chomp Bars - lots of chewy caramel and chocolate here. Picks up from lively spice along the way, with a little bit of waxy orange peel on the mid palate.

Finish

Orange lingers. Surprisingly long, with the rye notes from the nose coming back in full force.

Overall

A fine Indian single malt from John Distilleries.

Awesome

Fantastic Whiskey and truly enjoyed the smooth flavour of single malt.

Amey Oct 25, 2020

A delight.

Purchased Brilliance a few years ago. Opened August 2020. Love it. Have been privileged to enjoy Cardhu Glenchinchie Cragganmore Oban Glengoyne Dalwhinnie all 12 years plus. This compares very well. For those who like me favour unpeated single malts I whole heartedly recommend Paul John Brilliance.

Not so 'Brilliance' from Paul John

I was a little disappointed with the Paul John 'Brilliance' I read all the reviews on Master of Malt and thought it was worth a go. It's not a bad whisky, but at £35 I think there's a lot better out there, like 12 YO Glendronach on offer at the moment and so many other great single malts! It has a smooth initial taste, but the flavour doesn't last long and I think it shows its young age, with a very spirity finish. For me it's price point should be nearer £26 as it's just marginally better than a blend you might buy.
