It’s called Paul John Christmas Edition, and the 2024 version is the seventh edition of this popular annual series. Produced in Goa, India, at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains, this seasonal expression is made with rare single malt whisky finished in Caribbean rum barrels before being vatted and blended with single malt whisky matured in virgin oak casks.

Spring brings rebirth, rejuvenation, and re-releases of popular, highly sought-after whiskeys.
