Whiskey Wednesday

Buchanan's Master Scotch is today's featured whisky. A kind & generous patron gifted me this bottle (and the super sexy heels!) He thought it would be a good Scotch for me to sample, since I have a hard time with the taste of peat.  I found it much easier and enjoyable to drink than other Scotch whiskys.  It's a nice blend that I drank neat to begin with, but eventually preferred it with a bit of ice.

Buchanan’s is named after the late James Buchanan, a driven whisky entrepreneur who crafted a Scotch that redefined greatness. Instead of creating a Scotch to be revered, he created a uniquely smooth blend that could be shared and enjoyed by all. In fact, the original Buchanan’s bottle design was inspired by the selfless act of sharing water canteens between British soldiers during times of conflict.  Buchanan launched his whisky company in 1884 and quickly shared it with the world, traveling from Scotland to London to Latin America. Today, the bottle’s Red Lion crest proudly wears its origin, “Buchanan’s Scotland,” but continues to spread its smoothness around the globe from Bogota to Los Angeles to Mexico City.
