Paul John Brilliance 46% 70cl 1997 a tangy liquorice rootPaul John Brilliance 46% 70cl Single Malt From Goa India Nose: After the slightest whiff of smoke, a dizzying array of Manuka honey, prickly spice and bourboneque red liquorice takes over. Palate: 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 youve savoured it all, you are surprised by a hefty second wave of spice.
