Paul John Bold Single Malt

Liquid gold in colour. Bold is a journey that leads you down the unexplored, unchartered terrains. It offers you a slice of its best-kept secrets, unravelling the mysteries, little by little. This expression of ours invites you to leave the trail, tread the path less taken and plunge headlong into the delicious depths of Goa. The bouquet shows notes of smoke, a dizzying array of Manuka honey, prickly spice and bourboneque red liquorice takes over. This melt-in-the-mouth malt has the most profound flavours crashing in like waves. At first, the delivery feels sublimely silky and studded with oak-like honey. And just when you think you’ve savoured it all, you are surprised by a hefty second wave of spice. This is followed by a cloudy, smoky feel that coats the roof of the mouth and leaves a tidal wave of dry molasses, peaty soot and a degree of copper in its wake. Bold has a light finish with a hint of gorgeous smoked mocha shaped by delicate and intricate spice.
