Buchanan's Green Seal is a bold, modern addition to the Buchanan's family, a blended Scotch whisky built around a genuinely unusual idea. At the heart of the blend sits a never before released single malt from Diageo's Glen Elgin Distillery in Speyside, produced using an experimental wine yeast rather than a traditional distiller's yeast. That choice during fermentation unlocks vibrant tropical fruit character that sets Green Seal apart from anything else in the range. Master Blender Craig Wallace built the rest of the blend around this malt, drawing on experimental stocks and American oak bourbon casks to layer in richness and depth. The result is bright and generous: zesty citrus and tropical fruit up front, followed by creamy milk chocolate, luscious vanilla and warm wood spice, with toffee and apricot jam carrying through to a smooth finish. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), it is easy to enjoy neat, over ice or in a tall highball. Green Seal was created as a tribute to the flair and generosity of Latin culture and designed for sharing with your inner circle, and its packaging is just as expressive as the liquid. The circular emerald green bottle is modeled on the Buchanan's seal, finished with gold lettering, the brand's lion crest and a wooden stopper bearing the signature of founder James Buchanan, who established the brand in 1884. Launched nationally in October 2025 as a permanent part of the Buchanan's portfolio, Green Seal sits alongside Buchanan's DeLuxe 12, Special Reserve 18 and Red Seal as a fresh, fruit forward option for celebrations and gifting.
