Glenmorangie 12 Year Old Lasanta Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL
In every corner of the world, the setting of the sun is magical, mused Dr Bill, our Director of Whisky Creation and an inveterate traveller.
This whisky is Dr Bill s attempt to bottle the magic of sunset, with its endless horizon of reds, oranges and purples.
The Lasanta begins with our giraffe-high stills, which yield a deliciously delicate and fruity spirit. Next, we mature it in bourbon and sherry casks for 12 years, transforming it into a mouth-watering odyssey bursting with rich spiciness and sun-drenched sweetness.
It radiates with raisins, honeycomb and chocolate-covered hazelnuts lightened by cinnamon breezes.
Each time you watch the sunset, you see something different this is how it is to drink Lasanta.
Tasting Notes:
If you could sip a sunset, it would taste like The Lasanta, a mouthwatering odyssey bursting with rich spiciness and sundrenched sweetness.
Colour: A light russet.
Nose: Warm spices mingle with chocolate-covered raisins, honeycomb and caramel toffee.
Taste: Sherry-flavoured sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butterscotch combine to create complex warm spices.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with spiced orange and chocolate.
"There is a rich raisin ice cream thing happening here, but instead of rum, it is whisky. The proof of the whisky allows for the splendid spices to emerge such as nutmeg and cinnamon and finishes up with more dried fruits and hazelnut." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller
