Glenmorangie Lasanta is another expression from the Glenmorangie distillery, known for its 12-year aging process in sherry casks. The word "Lasanta" is Gaelic for "warmth and passion," which reflects the intended experience of enjoying this whisky.
Lasanta is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Jerez in Spain. The additional aging in these sherry casks imparts rich, fruity, and spicy flavors to the whisky, distinguishing it from Glenmorangie's more traditional expressions.
Typical tasting notes for Glenmorangie Lasanta include dried fruits like raisins and apricots, along with notes of toffee, chocolate, and warm spices such as cinnamon and ginger. The sherry cask influence adds depth and complexity, creating a well-rounded and flavorful Scotch whisky.
