From the sun-soaked shores of Goa, Paul John Nirvana Single Malt Whisky is an entry-level Indian single malt that punches well above its weight. Distilled from six-row Indian barley and matured in American oak casks, Nirvana clocks in at 40% ABV, delivering a sessionable yet complex drinking experience.
On the nose, expect rich honeycombed bourbon, fruitcake, and a whisper of caramel pudding. The palate follows with soft honey, a hint of salt-edged barley, and honeycomb sweetness before finishing long and smooth with lingering vanilla and barley. Unpeated and free from added flavors or colors, it’s a no-nonsense pour that transitions seamlessly from straight sips to fusion cocktails.
With 94 points in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible and a Gold Medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Nirvana proves that quality single malts don’t have to break the bank. At just $32.99, it’s an accessible gateway for blended whisky drinkers looking to level up.
