Buchanan's Blended Scotch Deluxe 12 Year Old
A classic for nearly 100 years, Buchanan's 12-year old whisky is one of the world's most iconic and awarded luxury Scotch whisky brands. It has a soft and fruity flavor, with orange and chocolate notes that allow it to be served on the rocks or with soda, garnished with a strip of orange peel. Originally called Buchanan's Finest Liqueur, James Buchanan personally consulted and approved the blend, which has a soft and fresh profile that separates it from other more dense whisky profiles.

Nose: The nose is round and complex with lots of bright tangerine, lemon and orange, with sweet notes of caramel and honey, followed by dark chocolate, salted nuts, toasted cereal grains and hints of peat smoke.
Palate: The palate is far less sweet than you might expect however the complexity continues with some great flavors of bright green apple, more orange and tangerine, spicy black pepper, toffee, and cocoa with a smoky element of tobacco and peat.
Finish: There is lingering spice on the finish with salty sweet chocolate-covered caramel and wisps of campfire.
