Buchanan's Green Seal, 40%

Price: 100 Issue: Winter 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Presented in a bottle inspired by the wax seal, master blender Craig Wallace selected Glen Elgin fermented with wine yeast to enhance the blend’s tropical fruitiness. Aromas of apple pie with crusty brown sugar, zested lime, dried apricot, candied lemon, fresh pineapple, and toffee. Fruity yet creamy, there’s green grapes, butterscotch, crème caramel, peppercorn, poached pears in cream, sweet plum, and melon, with a finish of white chocolate and baking spices.
