Reflecting the vibrant cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean, where coconut is a part of everyday life and celebrations, Buchanan's Coconut offers aromas of fresh coconut and bright citrus alongside flavors of delicate creamy vanilla, toasted coconut and the signature light malt character of Buchanan's Whisky. The permanent new expression is well-balanced and crafted to bring the rich, vibrant flavors of summer to every celebration.

"Summer is a feeling we all want to hold onto. It's more spontaneous, joyful and full of moments that bring familias together. With the launch of Buchanan's Coconut, we saw an opportunity to extend that feeling beyond a single season," said Linda Lagos Morales, Brand Director, Buchanan's Whisky. "Buchanan's has long been part of the way Latino communities come together and celebrate, and mixing tropical flavors with Buchanan's DeLuxe has naturally become part of that story. With Buchanan's Coconut, we saw an opportunity to honor and build on that history in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. With every sip of Buchanan's Coconut, we want to create that warm, welcoming energy and remind people that the spirit of summer doesn't have to end when the season does."

Buchanan's is introducing Buchanan's Coconut with a creative campaign that bursts with tropical energy, making the brand's loudest flavor yet as bold and impossible to ignore as it tastes. Created by GALE and filmed in Bogotá, Colombia, the creative film draws inspiration from some of the loudest and most recognizable figures across Latin America: the neighborhood fruteros, who are known for bringing colorful displays and unmistakable sound to the streets as they sell coconuts, pineapples and other fruits from their carts.

The campaign stars multi-Platinum artists Nina Sky – the Nuyorican twin sister DJ duo – who push frutero carts-turned-DJ booths through the streets as they announce, "It's Coco!" The duo then turns up the party to "Coco Sí," an original track featuring the Nina Sky's vocals that serves as the campaign's sonic signature. The vibrant creative highlights the warmth and boldness of Buchanan's Coconut and the vibrant sweetness of Buchanan's Pineapple, putting Buchanan's flavors on full display and capturing the collective joy experienced every summer.

"Fruteros are such a vibrant part of the culture – their energy is a sort of universal language," said Nina Sky. "We wanted to capture that spirit in the creative and bring it to life through 'Coco Sí.' This is a track and a campaign that can take that energy even further, and we're excited to use it to bring together other global sounds, keep the summer going and celebrate the bold spirit of Buchanan's Coconut and the Buchanan's familia as a whole."

As the House of Buchanan's introduces Buchanan's Coconut to the U.S., the brand will also be taking over unexpected places and moments with tropical flavors and sound to keep the joyful, spontaneous energy of summer alive throughout the autumn. This will come to life with Mezclao – a multi-city event series Buchanan's created in partnership with Pangea Sound, the acclaimed, LA-based DJ and producer collective.

Bringing together tropical flavors and regional Latin sounds, Mezclao will feature a lineup of international headliners, alongside Falcons, SuperNova and JOAQU.N, as well as emerging local talent across Los Angeles, Austin and Miami. Each event will highlight different global music influences, featuring blended DJ sets that create city-specific celebrations of music, flavor and Buchanan's familia. Mezclao embodies Buchanan's heritage, the mixed cultural identities of the brand's familia, and the blending of global and regional sounds at each event.

The series will debut in Los Angeles on September 24, head to Austin to kick off weekend one of the city's iconic music festival on October 1, then conclude in Miami during Latin music's biggest week on October 21. Each event will feature the Buchanan's Pineapple and Buchanan's Coconut frutero carts-turned-DJ booths from the creative campaign, bringing pure Latino rhythm and neighborhood energy to life for the crowd. Consumers 21+ can sign up at https://laylo.com/pangeasound/m/0hOcVJ to get more information about the events, including how they can attend, from Pangea Sound.

Buchanan's Coconut is a permanent addition to the Buchanan's portfolio, which is anchored by Buchanan's DeLuxe. The new offering is available for purchase online and in retail stores nationwide, wherever fine spirits are sold, with a suggested retail price of $29.99 for a 750ml bottle.

Perfect for spontaneous, lively gatherings with familia, Buchanan's Coconut brings tropical energy and summer vibes to any occasion. It is best served as a chilled shot, but for fans who prefer a cocktail, Buchanan's recommends the Coco Sour:
