Buchanan's Two Souls

Buchanan's is normally a nice blended whisky, and now they have come up with a new experiment, finishing their normal whisky in casks that previously had Tequila Don Julio. So, how did the tequila finish influence the whisky? That is what i am about to tell you, but first let me say that i am not a fan of tequila. I am one of those people who had a bad tequila experience when i was 20, and since then, i am unable even to smell it. Bottled at 40%abv. On the nose: aroma is interesting. Sweet at first, with lots of influence from Don Julio's Tequila. Vanilla, Milk chocolate; Slight agave/tequila. Sugar cane. Very sweet and inviting. Straightforward but easy aroma. After first sip a dim orange note appears. On the palate: Tequila. Salt. Very spicy. In a blind tasting event, you wouldn't guess it is a Buchanan's. It doesn't feel like whisky. It is more like a "puro" (raw liquor / moonshine). Aftertaste is not something to remember. Is short and salty. That's it. Overall this is my least favorite Buchanan's, i don't know if this review will be popular, but i want my whisky to feel as whisky and not tequila. For me, this is a failed experiment, eventhough the nose manage to score some points. 73 over 100.

A different experience but not marvelous at all. On the nose is a red apple, caramel and vainilla notes,fruity sweet and smooth. On the taste it opens up quickly, is a little spicy but quite enjoyable, tequila memories are present on the finish but not quite an actor. Non age statement whisky

Sweet and mild with vanilla and orange notes on the nose, same on the palate plus a little salt, agave and pepper. Short, sweet yet peppery finish.
