Goa, India (October 2025): Paul John Indian Single Malt Whisky, crafted by John Distilleries Pvt. Ltd., added yet another feather to its cap with two prestigious wins at the ProWine & ProSpirits Awards 2025. The acclaimed Paul John Brilliance earned a Gold Medal, while Paul John Nirvana secured a Silver Medal, further strengthening the brand's position in India's premium single malt category.
The announcement of winners took place at ProWine Mumbai 2025, held on 31st October and 1st November at the Jio World Convention Centre, Pavilion 3 — an event celebrating the best in the Indian wine and spirits industry.
Celebrating Indian Whisky Excellence on the Global Stage
The Paul John Brilliance, winner of the Gold Medal, is a non-peated single malt crafted from six-row Indian barley and matured in ex-bourbon casks. It reveals notes of honey, cocoa, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon, offering an elegant and smooth finish that reflects the warmth and vibrancy of Goa — one of the brand's most cherished core expressions.
The Paul John Nirvana, awarded the Silver Medal, is a light and approachable single malt ideal for those new to whisky, yet refined enough for seasoned drinkers. With aromas of caramel, fruitcake, and gentle spice, it delivers a delicate sweetness balanced with toasted oak and malted barley, beautifully capturing Paul John's accessible yet quality-driven approach to whisky-making.
These recognitions at the ProWine & ProSpirits Awards 2025 further reinforced Paul John Whisky's commitment to quality, innovation, and the art of whisky-making.
