Buchanan's Master

The flavor its good, soft, smooth and vanilla taste

Low end Scotch... experienced Scotch drinkers pass it by.

This is a surprisingly fantastic value blend! They say there's malts from every region of Scotland in this whisky and it really shows. A bit smokey and herbal at first, with a very smooth transition to fruity and floral, plus a light hint of sherry at the end. Finish is a bit short but smooth. Would have been a more interesting dram at higher abv. The grain is so well aged here that this actually tastes more like a blended malt. Apparently this used to have a 15 year statement before the rebottling in 2015. Buchanan's official site now says this is 12 years old. In any case, I'm really glad I discovered this scotch and it's now one of my top picks. Scotland in a bottle!

On the nose, there is a distinct smell of musk, cream, and cereal. All of that disappears as it hits the tongue and is replaced by a taste of lemon cake with dried berries. It finishes with rich caramels.

I don’t normally drink blended scotches but this one is very nice. Very smooth and drinkable. Tastes of chocolate covered fruit with just a hint of smoke. Great blend to keep on hand as I think it would appeal to most scotch drinkers.
