Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whisky has introduced a multifaceted product and service innovation centred around the song and music video 'Dando Vueltas' — created in collaboration with Latin superstar Rauw Alejandro as part of the brand's official support for the FIFA World Cup 2026 across North and Latin America.
The 'Dando Vueltas' music video weaves together the rhythms of fútbol and Latino cultural expression. It features Rauw Alejandro wearing "a Buchanan’s tech-enabled fútbol boot." The production was made possible through the support of legendary choreographers Rich+Tone. Overall, the music video celebrates resilience, working-class communities, and the unifying power of sport.
Buchanan's also launches an accompanying limited-edition bottle collection, designed with the collective Kids of Immigrants. This capsule pays tribute to the streets and fields where fútbol is lived daily.
