The Paul John range of single malt whiskies, produced by John Distilleries in Goa, India, marks a significant venture into the world of premium spirits for a company that has already made a notable impact in the Indian molasses 'whisky' market.

Brilliance, a member of this range, is crafted using Indian 6-row barley sourced from the Himalayan foothills. After careful distillation, the whisky is matured in bourbon barrels for a period of 3-5 years before it is bottled at its natural cask strength. Despite the tropical climate's influence on evaporation, resulting in approximately 12-13% loss per year, the whiskies from Paul John demonstrate exceptional quality even at a younger age, much like their counterparts from the renowned Amrut distillery
