Tasting Notes

Buchanan’s De Luxe 12 Year Old is the signature expression of the house, blended from select Scotch whiskies aged for a minimum of twelve years. The nose opens with soft aromas of honey, citrus, and light smoke balanced by vanilla and oak. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable, with flavors of sweet malt, caramel, and orange zest accented by hints of chocolate and gentle spice. The texture is rounded and easy-drinking, leading into a medium finish with lingering malt sweetness and subtle oak.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with smoked salmon, roasted almonds, or charcuterie. For a main course, it complements roasted chicken with herbs, grilled pork loin, or seared salmon with a citrus glaze. In the cheese course, aged cheddar, manchego, or creamy brie highlight its approachable sweetness. For dessert, it pairs well with apple tart, vanilla custard, or milk chocolate truffles.
