Hello whisky friends, let me know what you think of Buchanan's!
@tyhargett51977 жыл бұрын
Malt Mondays I've had the 12 a few times and enjoyed it. Not the best but a standard scotch, but the price doesn't warrant a repeat buy imho. Had the 18 I believe 3 years ago and it was really good but expensive. Had the 18 again this year over the summer and the bottle and quality had changed, wasn't satisfied with the purchase.
@MaltMondays7 жыл бұрын
I agree and I haven't tried the 18 but I just find Buchanan's 12 doesn't hold up at $30 compared to Johnnie Walker or Chivas, or at least my remembrances of those drams is them being better than the Buchanan 12. I will be reviewing the Johnnie Walker range soon though so I'll have to compare side by side and see if my memory is correct. Cheers!

The plastic thing in the top of the bottle is to prevent it from being refilled with a cheaper scotch. Lots of imports do this. Mainly so bars won’t water it down or refill it with something else.

This is a fantastic blend. I drink age statement single malts almost exclusively and I am totally impressed with this. To be totally honest I have avoided drinking this for years, just bc it is a blend at 30/35(don’t pay any more). It’s not the best but holy moly I will always have this in my cabinet. It’s perfect for introducing a newbie, it’s not threatening at all

Tbh I think it's great whiskey, it's got the smoothness to even chug it for a bit if you really need a small chug, or just drink it straight without any other drink, it's usually mixed with flavor drinks like sprite, in many countries, it's very smooth, I actually like it better than some other ones.
@MaltMondays6 жыл бұрын
That would make sense. I know in some countries there are only a handful of scotches even available and they are much more expensive. I don't know about pricing elsewhere but I have to compare to what I have available in Florida, and I think it falls a little short based on its competition here in the U.S.

I like it. A little peaty and smoky on the nose. A little smokey and spicy on the pallet. I didn't think the finish was all that bad. Good for the price range. Much better then Dewars white label or Johnny Walker red or black I thought. No perceivable neutral grain spirit cheap alcohol corn liquor taste. I drink whiskey neat or sometimes with a splash. My current favorite is Laphroaig 10 but I cant always find it. I like bourbon too but I'm just starting to learn and like Scotch.
