Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Year Scotch

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Scotland, specifically from the Glenmorangie Distillery, which is renowned for its tall stills that contribute to a smoother spirit. The name 'Lasanta' is Gaelic for 'warmth and passion,' reflecting its rich, spicy character derived from finishing in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. While Glenmorangie itself has a long history dating back to 1843, the Lasanta expression, as part of their core range of wood-finished whiskies, represents a more contemporary take on their classic style, offering a deeper, sweeter profile.

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Year, sherry cask finished, offers rich toffee and raisin notes with a whisper of spice. It brings warmth and a luxurious sweetness to stirred cocktails, particularly shining in a Rob Roy or a Blood and Sand, lending a delightful depth without overpowering other cocktail ingredients.

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Year delights with warm spices, chocolate-covered raisins, and caramel toffee on the nose. The palate is a rich tapestry of sherry-sweet sultanas, orange segments, walnuts, and butterscotch, creating a complex warmth. It finishes long and satisfying, with spiced orange and chocolate-covered hazelnuts.
