Buchanan's Coconut Blended Scotch Whisky
35% ABV (70 proof) | 750mL | Coconut-flavored spirit drink built on Buchanan's blended Scotch | Scotland — Buchanan's Coconut takes the signature light-malt character of Buchanan's blended Scotch whisky and layers it with coconut flavor — a permanent September 2026 addition to the portfolio alongside Buchanan's Pineapple, aimed squarely at tropical cocktails and chilled shots.
The idea came straight from Buchanan's drinkers: in the US and Latin America, fans were already mixing DeLuxe whisky with coconut water. Diageo made it official — a 35% ABV coconut-flavored spirit drink (not a 40% straight Scotch) in a refreshed clear bottle with coconut illustrations, the signature red seal, and the raised-glass crest. The launch campaign with Nina Sky leans into Latin rhythm and tropical flavor. Fresh coconut and citrus on the nose, creamy vanilla and coconut on the palate, a smooth toasted-oak finish — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
