Paul John Mars Orbiter Batch #1 Indian Single Malt Whisky 4 Year Old · 2013 Vintage
Out of stock
An interplanetary quest for knowledge, pride and discovery, and completing a marathon of 670 million kilometers in 300 days, the Mars Orbiter Mission stands forever as a symbol of national prestige. As the first Asian country to reach the Martian orbit, and the only nation to successfully do so at the very first attempt, India made her mark on the space frontier with this ambitious project. History was made that day, an immortal moment for every Indian - the day we went to Mars.
Such an achievement deserves to be marked with something equally remarkable. Which is why Paul John chose to pay our homage with a limited edition single malt that is worthy of its name: Mars Orbiter. Drawn on the same month that the Indian space probe was launched, this rare edition is a tribute to the brilliance and efforts that made this tremendous mission successful.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of honeyed orange blossom with a dash of Muscovado sugar tinged with smoked bacon and delicious peat.
On the palate the whisky is smooth and malty with flavours of dark cocoa, salted almonds and a sweet oak.
The finish is long and delightfully spicy with a toasted sugar laced with gorgeous tannic smokiness.

Silky on the tongue, malty and rich, revealing dark cocoa and salted almonds, lifted by a sweet toasted oak. The texture is full and refined, with a gentle warmth and a lingering, subtly spicy finish.
Finish
Long and elegantly spicy, the finish lingers with toasted sugar and a subtle, tannic smokiness that keeps the palate awake.
