Glenmorangie Lasanta - 12 Years Old
An elegant and full-bodied single malt whisky that has been extra matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks. The key flavour notes are of toffee, raisins and walnuts.
Light russet colour. Like the most delicious dessert menu imaginable, Lasanta taunts the senses with chocolate covered raisins, honeycomb and smooth caramel toffee. Citrus notes clear the way for the crispy burnt sugar and melting softness of crème brulée to be replaced by the rich aroma of rum and raisin ice cream.
The addition of water to Lasanta exposes another menu of juicy dates and caramelised apricots whose sweetness is offset with hazelnut and walnut oil. Notes of dessert sherry wine emerge, mixed with spice and linseed oil to give a sense of cosiness and age-old comfort.
The full, sweet flavour typical of Spanish sherry with sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butter toffee. The bite of hazelnut tasted through a chocolate coating, spice notes and hints of leather add the overwhelming sense of richness.
The finish is satisfyingly long with spiced orange and chocolate enrobed hazelnuts
ABV: 46% non-chill filtered
Background Information:
In 1843 William Matheson granted a licence to distil and the Glenmorangie Distillery Company was established. Beautifully seductive and deliciously captivating, Glenmorangie single malt Scotch whisky is an irresistible feast of taste, texture and aroma.
At the core of the distillery is a small group of men, with immense skill and enviable knowledge; The Sixteen Men of Tain still follow the mystical art of turning barley and mineral-rich, Tarlogie spring water into the famously complex and elegant whisky.
In Gaelic Lasanta means ‘warmth and passion’.
