Tasting Notes: Kanya by Paul John

Color: The whisky presents a natural, amber golden hue, with medium-length legs.

Nose: An aromatic journey of citrus oranges, lemon, and honey, fresh orchard fruit, apples, pears, and a pronounced graininess, a touch of yeast. Peaches, vibrant floral notes, and warm, inviting hints of vanilla. 

Palate: Rich, creamy mouthfeel – Citrus acidity and honey butter following the nose. Development of summer fruits, peaches, nectarines, and butterscotch – sweet and delicate. Influences of toasty oak unfolding, a hint of earthy undergrowth emerges, providing a grounding element.

Finish: A medium-bodied finish, delicate yet surprisingly satisfying. The lingering sweetness of ripe summer fruit is complemented by a subtle warmth from the spices.

Overall Impression

Kanya by Paul John offers a glimpse into the potential of Indian single malt, with a foundation of sweet, spicy, and earthy notes. While showcasing some intriguing dimensions, the whisky falls short of reaching its full potential. I hoped for greater complexity – ultimately, the experience was underwhelming.

Conclusion

Kanya is worth a try for anyone curious about the world of Indian whisky. The price does not exactly match the expectation of a sophisticated spirit.If you’re seeking a whisky that is both familiar and exotic, Kanya is one to try.
