MITHUNA INDIAN SINGLE MALT WHISKY

#MithunabyPaulJohn

ABV 58%

Mithuna by Paul John, of the Paul John Zodiac series, is named after the Indian counterpart of the 3rd Zodiac sign Gemini.

Unpeated. Non chill-filtered. Matured in American virgin oak casks and finished in ex-bourbon casks.

Hues of old oak and sophisticated aromas of liquorice with gentle beeswax lead to a luxuriant delivery of ulmo honey on crisp toast, and tender notes of vanilla. Chewy flavours of coffee mocha, orange peel and delicate spice float on active tannins while gentle oils enjoy gists of dark cocoa tones. The finish is gratifyingly long and complex with multi-toned sugars and delicate honeys.

Renowned for contradictive strengths, the characteristics of Gemini are epitomized by this Indian single malt as mesmerizing layers of austere, dry tannins are challenged in equal measure by resplendent sugars and mocha on delicate oils.

Mithuna

Best Of 2022

Technically another end-of-last-year edit that just missed the Oscar nods, Mithuna, the newest from the beloved Bangalore distillery Paul John, is a higher-than-usual (58%) ABV malt; unpeated and non-chill-filtered. It gets its distinct mocha-coffee notes (punctuated by just a touch of honeyed liquorice) because it's matured in American virgin oak casks and finished in ex-bourbon casks; a treat on a winter's eve.

So rich, so deep, so heavy, it's a multifaceted experience I don't want to end. I'm finding nuances and notes on each sniff and taste. Adding water brings out a dry candy note, like a Necco or Smarties, and enhances that herbal spice notes.

Paul John Mithuna Indian Single Malt Review

India's Paul John stepped up a notch again with a stellar single malt in 2021, Mithuna. I received two sample bottles (50ml) earlier this year, and I need to tell you that I enjoyed them. This is an unpeated, not-chill-filtered single whisky. It is matured in virgin American oak (the way folks following the Scotch model say “new”) and finished in ex-bourbon casks, before bottling at 58% ABV (116 proof)

Paul John Mithuna Indian Single Malt Whisky by Whisky Monster

We first heard about Paul John Mithuna in September 2020, when it was announced as the World's 3rd Finest Whisky in 2021. Lucky for Paul John, this whisky was the only whisky that wasn't released as of the day. The winner Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye and Stagg Jr were already well gone and sold out. It took a few months, but we are finally about to see Mithuna on the shelves in a few weeks.
