Tasting Notes

Buchanan’s Special Reserve Aged 18 Years is an elegant blend of rare Scotch whiskies aged for nearly two decades, delivering depth and refinement. The nose opens with layers of dried fruit, honey, and dark chocolate balanced by gentle oak and spice. On the palate, it is silky and rich, unfolding flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, and orange peel alongside subtle hints of sherry, leather, and tobacco. The texture is smooth and full-bodied, leading into a long, warming finish with echoes of sweet malt, oak, and lingering spice.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with smoked salmon, prosciutto-wrapped figs, or foie gras. For a main course, it complements roasted lamb, grilled venison, or prime rib with a peppercorn crust. In the cheese course, aged gouda, Roquefort, or Parmigiano-Reggiano highlight its richness. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate truffles, crème brûlée, or a spiced fruit tart.
