INDIA. Indian single malt whisky Paul John and Avolta have unveiled The Bengaluru Habba, the brand’s second Bengaluru Duty Free exclusive at Kempegowda International Airport.
The Bengaluru Airport-exclusive expression (56.4% ABV) is restricted to 192 bottles, retailing at INR13,150 (US$149).
Created with whisky collectors in mind, The Bengaluru Habba combines a rich, vibrant flavour profile with packaging that reflects the city’s festive spirit, while offering travellers the distinctive tropical character for which Paul John is renowned.
Crafted in Goa under the Master Distiller’s Special Selection, the whisky is drawn from a single cask, non-chill filtered, free from additives and presented in its natural colour.
Deep amber in colour, the Bengaluru Habba opens with tropical fruit, cocoa and berry notes. The palate is layered with citrus and caramel, complemented by gentle peat smoke. The finish is long, silky and honeyed, with lingering oak.
The latest release from Paul John, part of John Distilleries, builds on the brand’s Indian whisky-making heritage and its drive for innovation since it was founded in 1996. Exclusive to Bengaluru Duty Free, it highlights premium Indian craftsmanship while reinforcing Paul John’s status in the global single malt category.
Sai RP Enterprises, the independent Indian liquor distributor founded by Rajesh Panda, handles Paul John’s distribution in travel retail. ✈
