Gaelic for passion and warmth, Lasanta is matured in ex Oloroso sherry casks which lend the whisky rich overtones of raisins, honeycomb, marzipan and chocolate, as well as a sumptuous, syrupy finish. Glenmorangie was the first distillery to start ageing its whisky in different oak barrels- as early as the 1990s. The market has moved on and this represents the new (ish) version of the Sherry Cask. The whisky is aged initially for 10 years in ex Bourbon casks and then finished for 2 years in ex Sherry casks. Furthermore the whisky is now non-chilled filtered which ensures not only a higher ABV but a richer, rounder whisky.

Description

Glenmorangie uses some of the tallest stills in Scotland meaning that the ethers during distillation are incredibly light. This translates directly to the taste- light, fruity and incredibly accessible. The house is also based in Tain which has its own little micro climate meaning that it is relatively mild weather. Add into the mix that they own and use their own water springs and you have a delectably consistent whisky on your hands.

Tasting notes
