Mithuna By Paul John

Tasting Notes

About:

116 proof (58% ABV). Unpeated and non-chill filtered. Aged in American virgin oak casks and finished in ex-bourbon casks. Priced at around $270/750mL.
Appearance:
Burnished copper with medium viscosity.
Nose:
Floral elements come through on a wave of persimmon and honey.
Palate:
The taste of fall, citrus peel, and cumin seed are carried on the lingering mellow heat. The whisky has a chewy mouthfeel and a delectable long finish, sweet and oaky.
Finish:
Comments:
One of my favorite tastings in a long time, Mithurna by Paul John is a special occasion spirit. It is on the expensive side, but there is a complexity of flavors that elevate the whisky from an ordinary tasting to a unique one.
