Rampur Double Cask Review
Rampur Double Cask is the latest release from the Indian distillery. We all know Amrut and Paul John, but Rampur tends to fly under the radar in the conversation about Indian Whisky. I'm not sure if it's because they're playing a purposefully slow game in the market or if Amrut … [Read more...] about Rampur Double Cask Review
Paul John Christmas Edition 2021 Review
It's the most wonderful time of the year: the Paul John Christmas Edition 2021 is out! This marks the fourth release of this whisky, but only the third that's made its way to the USA.

Amrut Intermediate Sherry Review
The Amrut Intermediate Sherry is the result of the stars aligning for the distillery. This discontinued release came about from a one-time purchase of a bunch of high-quality sherry casks. Quality being the operative word for why it's never shown up again: they can't get good, … [Read more...] about Amrut Intermediate Sherry Review

Paul John Christmas Edition 2020 Review
Every year Paul John releases a unique, interesting and, so far, stunning release every X-mas, and this was last year's: Paul John Christmas Edition 2020. I'm reviewing it now in 2021 because 2020 was a dumpster fire and I didn't get much done here on the site. So here we … [Read more...] about Paul John Christmas Edition 2020 Review
Malt Nuts Become Friends of Paul John
This event with Paul John, and the amazing Koray, is something we've talked about in the group for a while and it seemed like there was no better time to do it than a Pandemic.
