Buchanan's Red Seal Blended Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Diageo.This blend’s fingerprint malt is Dalwhinnie, and the nose is clean and very smooth with a hint of smoke, roasted almonds, and a hint of honey.  The taste is smooth with a nice spiciness, and notes of cinnamon, honey, lemon, and black tea. The finish is smooth, lingering, and spicy. (June, 2013)
