Mithuna by Paul John is another Indian single malt whisky produced by the John Distilleries company. This whisky is named after the Sanskrit word for “couple” or “pair”, and it is meant to represent the coming together of two different single malts.

Mithuna is made using a combination of peated and unpeated Indian barley that is grown in the foothills of the Himalayas. The barley is malted and then distilled in copper pot stills before being matured in American white oak casks.

This whisky is also non-chill filtered and bottled at 50% ABV, which gives it a bold and intense flavor profile. On the nose, Mithuna has aromas of smoke, oak, and spice, along with hints of vanilla and honey. The palate is rich and complex, with flavors of peat smoke, dark chocolate, and dried fruits, as well as a touch of sweetness from the oak casks. The finish is long and smoky, with a subtle warmth and a hint of citrus.

Overall, Mithuna by Paul John is a unique and innovative whisky that blends together the best elements of peated and unpeated single malts to create a truly exceptional flavor experience. It has won several awards, including a gold medal at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
