John Distilleries dates back to 1992, when they began producing a series of molasses based “whiskies” which were closer to coloured rum or vodka than actual whisky. One prominent brand, Original Choice, is sold in cartons across India.

Paul John, the company’s founder, maintained a greater ambition: to launch a high quality single malt that would showcase India’s delicious barley and unique climate for aging spirits. He achieved this in 2012, with the launch of Paul John Single Malt. The brand has been a great success, helping to establish India as a rising star of the whisky world, and winning accolades from drinkers across the globe.
