Buchanan's De Luxe 12 Year is said to be of the same quality as Black and White Scotch, but it is overpriced. The nose is greeted with exotic aromas of smoke, peat, walnuts, and caramel. However, the entry is thin and only brings out the flavors of cinnamon and caramel. The finish is brief and has a taste of smoke, peat, and cocoa. Although it is a Latino fad created by Diageo, it doesn't have much substance compared to other brands in the same price range such as Johnnie Walker Black Label, Old Parr 12 years old, and Haig Pinch Dimple 15 years old of Diageo Brands, which are better alternatives.
