Product History

Every year, Paul John's Christmas Edition is eagerly awaited by enthusiasts around the world. This 2025 vintage continues the tradition by offering a single malt aged in ex-bourbon casks and then refined in cream sherry casks, a unique blend of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso. This double refinement brings an additional aromatic richness, between fruity indulgence and woody depth. The choice of six-row barley grown at the foot of the Himalayas gives this edition a unique character, reinforced by maturation in Goa's tropical climate, which accelerates aging and intensifies the flavors. Bottling at 48% without excessive reduction preserves power and balance. This limited edition is a collector's item and a must-have for the holiday season.
