Reviewed September 8, 2021 (edited September 14, 2021)Whisky has evolved a lot in the past 15 years. Back in the early 2000s, at least in my country (Ecuador) people only drank the classic blended whiskies: Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal, Buchanan's and Old Parr. You might not have heard of the last two, or even had a taste of them, but here they are incredibly popular. Everybody was drinking the 12yo expressions of this "classics", until the single malts exploded everywhere. Nowadays you can find a Blended Malt of each of those brands, which some years ago were exclusive to a Johnnie Walker Green Label. Chivas Regal released their "Ultis" expressions, a expensive, nice whisky; and now its Buchanan's time to do the same. This "Malts" edition is a Blend of malts, without grain whisky, in an attempt to release a different product, to capture some markets where whisky enthusiasts are booming. Bottled at 40%, golden color. On the nose, peaches. Lots of them. It actually starts with a beautiful peach aroma with hints of pepper. Syrup and cherries. Baked brownies and vanilla. Very appealing and different. On the palate, very straightforwars but not bad. Peach syrup, pears and a nice caramel. Aftertaste begins been very watery, and that scared me for a second; but, then a nice smokey aftertaste rised beautifully. Hay and smoke. Overall, this is a very interesting whisky, that you can enjoy easily. I don't think it is easy to find, but i recommend that you buy one to share with friends, specially those that are not very "picky" with their beverages. My score for it is 83 over 100.
