Glenmorangie Lasanta is één van de drie extra gerijpte kwaliteiten. Na de eerste tien jaar rijping in ex-bourbon vaten is de whisky overgestoken op de beste Oloroso en Pedro Ximenez sherryvaten uit het Spaanse Jerez. De naam Lasanta, Gaelisch voor ‘warmte en passie’, weerspiegelt de elegante, mondvullende textuur en de verleidelijke, diepe, zoete aroma’s van deze whisky. Een weelderige, luxueuze whisky.
Lasanta is the replacement for the old Glenmorangie Sherry Finish although, to be fair, this new one is a bit stronger at 46%. It says here that 'Lasanta' means 'Warmth and Passion' in Gaelic, which is nice.
Producer's Tasting Notes Aroma: 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 brulee 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 Taste: 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 Finish: Satisfyingly long with spiced orange and chocolate enrobed hazelnuts
