One of the most intriguing new Scotch whisky releases of the year has arrived with the debut of Buchanan’s Coconut, a permanent addition to the Buchanan’s Blended Scotch Whisky lineup.

Inspired by a serving tradition that has become popular throughout Latin America and among Latino communities across the United States, this coconut-flavored Scotch whisky combines Buchanan’s smoothness with rich tropical coconut notes for a refreshing twist on a classic spirit.

Unlike many flavored whiskies that lean heavily on sweetness, Buchanan’s Coconut was developed from a real-world cocktail tradition. Fans have long enjoyed Buchanan’s DeLuxe served over ice with a splash of coconut water. Now, Buchanan’s has transformed that popular pairing into a ready-to-enjoy expression designed for warm-weather gatherings, backyard barbecues, and year-round celebrations.

Buchanan’s Coconut Tasting Notes

Bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof), Buchanan’s Coconut offers an approachable profile that appeals to both longtime Scotch drinkers and newcomers exploring flavored whiskies.

Aroma

Fresh coconut leads the nose, complemented by bright citrus notes layered over a light Scotch character.

Palate

The whisky delivers creamy vanilla and rich coconut flavors reminiscent of Latin America’s iconic coquito. Toasted coconut adds depth while Buchanan’s signature light malt character provides balance and complexity.

Finish

The finish is smooth, light, and pleasantly lingering, with toasted oak and coconut notes that invite another sip.

A Fresh New Look

Alongside the launch of Buchanan’s Coconut, the brand has introduced an updated bottle design that reflects its tropical inspiration. Coconut illustrations hint at the flavor inside, while the clear bottle showcases the whisky’s golden color. Familiar Buchanan’s details … including the signature wax seal, raised-glass crest, and easy-open silver cap … remain intact, blending modern style with the brand’s heritage.

Celebrating Latin American Culture

To introduce the new expression, Buchanan’s has partnered with acclaimed DJ duo Nina Sky for a creative campaign celebrating the vibrant spirit of Latin America’s iconic fruteros (fruit vendors). The campaign combines music, culture, and the carefree energy that inspired Buchanan’s newest innovation.

Price and Availability

Buchanan’s Coconut is now joining the brand’s permanent portfolio with a suggested retail price of $29.99 for a 750mL bottle. A 50mL size will also be available for consumers looking to sample the new release.

For whisky enthusiasts looking to explore something different, or anyone searching for one of the year’s most interesting new Scotch whisky releases, Buchanan’s Coconut delivers a unique combination of tradition, innovation, and approachable flavor that makes it worth seeking out.
