Paul John Whisky Raises the Bar with Its Most Mature Christmas Edition Yet

Christmas releases in the whisky world often promise magic, but Paul John has delivered something that genuinely feels like a moment. The India based distillery, long celebrated for reshaping expectations of world whisky, has unveiled its Christmas Edition 2025. This is the eighth expression in the annual series and the oldest whisky the brand has ever released.

Crafted on the sun drenched shores of Goa, the Christmas Edition 2025 is an unpeated eight year old single malt created with a true sense of occasion. Its journey to the bottle is slow, meticulous and worthy of the season. The whisky rests for five years in ex bourbon casks before moving into rare two hundred and fifty litre cream casks seasoned with Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. The two finishes are later brought together and given a final year to marry into a single indulgent expression.

The result is a whisky that radiates festive warmth. It shows a deep amber glow in the glass, followed by notes of stone fruit, soft butterscotch and the unmistakable character of a rich Christmas cake. It moves with confidence and leaves a long, elegant finish that settles gently on the palate.

Master Blender Michael D Souza describes every Christmas Edition as a story. For 2025, he calls it a tale of indulgent harmony. The cream sherry casks, shaped by Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso wine, have added a refined sweetness that feels both seasonal and sophisticated.

The Christmas Edition series has become a calendar highlight for collectors and enthusiasts, and this year’s release is likely to follow the same path. Only six thousand two hundred and fifty four bottles will be produced worldwide, with the United Kingdom receiving an allocation of just four hundred and twenty. Those who want it will need to move quickly.

As with all Paul John whiskies, the 2025 Christmas Edition remains non chill filtered, free from additives and bottled at forty eight percent ABV. Expect tropical sweetness, gentle spice and a creamy richness that feels tailor made for winter evenings. Priced at sixty five pounds for a seventy centilitre bottle, it is available now through specialist retailers.

For those looking to secure a bottle before the season truly begins, it can be purchased directly through Amazon at Paul John Christmas Edition 2025.
