Buchanan Green Seal Blended Scotch Whisky

Buchanan’s Green Seal is a classic, balanced Scotch blend that emphasizes harmony, elegance, and approachability. It’s neither overly bold nor austere—ideal for drinkers who prefer a smooth, fruit-and-malt character with modest spice and complexity.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Buchanan’s, founded in the late 19th century, produces several blended whiskies, of which Green Seal is a core expression. Green Seal is crafted from a blend of aged single malts and fine grain whiskies from Scotland, selected to create a consistent, versatile profile. The whiskies are matured in oak casks, with enough aging to smooth integration of flavors without asserting a strong age statement. The bottling proof is calibrated to preserve aromas and texture, not to overpower with high strength.

Tasting Profile

Nose: Gentle aromas of orchard fruit—pear, green apple—meld with honey, soft vanilla, and light malt. A whisper of oak spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) and faint cedar adds depth, without boldness.

Palate: Smooth and medium-bodied. Fruit flavors continue—pear, peach, golden apple—joined by caramel, toffee, and biscuit. Oak contributes mild tannin and a trace of baking spice, but remains in support, not dominance.

Finish: Medium-length and comfortable. The tail exhibits lingering honeyed fruit, gentle oak warmth, and a soft spice echo. The finish is clean and mellow, fading without harshness.
