The Maturation of Paul John Brilliance<\/h2>\n
\n

As stated above, Paul John Brilliance (and Indian whisky in general) is aged in starkly contrasting conditions to scotch<\/a> whisky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The hot and humid climate in India<\/a> forces the whisky to expand and contract and a faster and more extreme rate. This encourages interaction between the whisky and all of the crevices in the oak cask. As a result, maturation is often said to be “accelerated” in India. This is evident both in terms of the flavor of the whisky after a few years, and in the increased Angel’s Share (8-10% per year, compared to the Scottish average of 2%). Essentially, Indian whisky can reach a certain level of complexity and depth of flavor in a much shorter time frame than scotch whisky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Paul John Brilliance benefits from these maturation conditions, intensifying flavors of fruit, honey, spice, and oak in around 4-5 years.<\/p>\n

Quality Standards<\/h2>\n

It’s important to remember that naming conventions may be similar between scotch and Indian whisky, but the laws around purity are not transferable from region to region. Where some consumers might be confused by the mention of “additive free” when they see a Single Malt, it isn’t an accident or due to inexperience. Distillers in India are picking up the mantle of legal classification and attempting to move the country’s food and safety administration (FSSAI) for legal protections. Similar to what happened in the U.S. A cause worthy of watching as Indian Single Malt gains ground in the global market.<\/p>\n
