The angel share in Goa is high, at 8 - 10 % per annum, therefore accelerating the maturation of the whisky tremendously. The whisky matures in specially chosen charred American white oak barrels, stored in two distinct warehouses, imparting unique character to each whisky and individual flavour to every cask.
Paul John Bold is a journey that leads the drinker down the unexplored, unchartered terrains of Goa. It offers a slice of its best-kept secrets, unravelling the mysteries, bit by little bit.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Liquid Gold.
Nose - After the slightest whiff of smoke, a dizzying array of Manuka honey, prickly spice and 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. The surprise of a hefty second wave of spice comes next, followed by a cloudy, smoky feel that coats the roof of the mouth. Ultimately, this leaves a tidal wave of dry molasses, peaty soot and a degree of copper in its wake.
Finish - Bold has a light finish with a tinge of copper slowly making its presence known. You can also sense a gorgeous smoked mocha shaped by delicate and intricate spices.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
