INDIA. John Distilleries’ Paul John Whisky, in an exclusive partnership with Bengaluru Duty Free (a joint venture between Bangalore International Airport Limited and Avolta), has introduced its Single Cask Unpeated Madeira expression at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru.
The travel retail-exclusive release, limited to 228 bottles, was added to shelves in Terminal 2 on 30 May. It is a non-age statement single cask whisky available at a recommended retail price of US$300.
The cask takes inspiration from Bengaluru and its packaging has been designed to showcase the vibrant spring blossoms of the ‘Garden City’.
Unpeated Madeira, distilled in the tropical climes of Goa, features aromas of Christmas cake, dry plum and manuka honey. Orange zest, vanilla, dark chocolate and subtle hints of dry resin contribute to an oaky finish.
John Distilleries Chairman Paul P John said: “We are honoured to launch our first exclusive single cask global travel release at Bengaluru International Airport Terminal 2 with our partner Bengaluru Duty Free, offering an elevated whisky experience to travellers.
“The city holds a special place in our hearts, and partnering with one of the finest airports in the country is a true honour. This exclusive release is a tribute to Bengaluru, allowing us to showcase the vibrant flavours of India in every sip.
“We are excited to present a taste of our finest creation exclusively at the airport’s duty-free store.” ✈
