About Buchanan's Whisky

The story of Buchanan’s Whisky began in the late 19th century. A man named James Buchanan set out to create a blend that combined smoothness with character. He aimed for a whisky that would travel well and appeal to people who wanted quality without fuss. 

Over time, the whisky built a reputation for careful blending by selecting malt and grain whiskies from different regions. This is to create a consistent and more approachable style. Buchanan’s Whisky honors classic Scotch techniques, all the while offering bottles that work in simple serves, cocktails, and tasting parties. 

That mix of history and everyday use makes Buchanan’s Whisky excellent for newcomers and interesting for people who already know their way around a dram.

Notable Bottles From Buchanan's Whisky

Buchanan’s Master Blended Scotch

Expect notes of toasted oak, gentle fruit, and a clean finish that keeps the grain character intact. This bottle is designed to be versatile, meaning you can enjoy it neat, with a splash of water, or in a cocktail. For someone learning about blends, this bottle shows how different components can work together without any single element overpowering the other.

Buchanan’s Deluxe 12 Year Scotch Whiskey

The 12-year-old is a step up in both age and polish. That extra time in the cask adds depth and roundness. Here, you’ll notice richer oak influence, a touch of dried fruit, and a mellow spice that makes it quite easy to sip. If you want a first-aged Scotch that is forgiving and clear in character, this is a solid choice.

Buchanan’s Select 15 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whiskey

Time in oak softens rough edges and introduces nutty, honeyed notes alongside the malt backbone. Choose this bottle when you want to explore a richer, more contemplative side of blended Scotch.

Buchanan’s 18 Year Scotch Whiskey

The 18-year expression is the house’s more mature offering, aimed at people who enjoy depth and length in a dram. Longer cask time brings pronounced oak, dried fruit, and a lingering finish that invites reflection. It is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open the aromas.

Awards and Recognition

Buchanan’s 12 Deluxe has won the Gold Medal in the 2015, 2016, and 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, as well as winning the Chairman’s Trophy in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2016. 

The 18, on the other hand, got Double Gold Medal in 2013, 2014, and 2017 at The San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Best of Class premium award for the “Best Blended Scotch in the 16 Years and Older” category.

Who Buchanan's Whisky is For

The 12- and 15-year bottles pair nicely with smoked fish, roasted nuts, and hard cheeses. The 18-year-old suits richer desserts and dark chocolate. If you’re looking for food pairs, then Buchanan's Whisky should be under consideration.
