Glenmorangie 12-year-old

Nothing special, the Lasanta is too mild for me and the finish is too short. The aroma presentation is solid, the variety of flavors is very limited, that's it. A typical entry-level sherry-based whisky.

This is actually a great bottling, perfectly balanced. The sherry cask finish definitely had it's impact but it's not that overpowering as you encounter quite often when tasting "single cask" but actually sherry wood finished whiskies. It's on the friendly side of sherry finishes, with room for the citric spirit to stay on board. Apart from that, expect dried fruit, mocha/capuccino and spice.

Aroma - bright sherry finish, sweetness, light floral notes, caramel, apple juice. The taste is light, pleasantly fresh, meadow, bright flowers, pollen, honey, sherry in the background, not overpowering. Drinkable, tasty and light whisky.

The biggest similarity is probably the glendronach 12, as there are also ex-bourbon and px + olorosso for maturation. The difference here is that the typical dronach house style (a little earthy a little smoky) is very rounded and delicious whisky.

Great taste, subtile sweetness due to the sherry. Personally I don't like sherry but this combo is to die for. Absolutely marvellous.

This new sherry bottling from Glenmorangie has been given the name Lasanta. Lasanta means "warmth and passion" in Gaelic. The sherry casks come from the warm south of Spain, Jerez de la Frontera in Andalucia. That's where the famous soft and sweet oloroso sherries come from. After the maturation of the sherry, the barrels return to Scotland with the wonderful warm aromas, where they are filled with the Glenmorangie malt whisky and can thus impart the delicate and rich aromas to the whisky. The Lasanta first matured in Bourbon barrels and got its "finish" on the beautiful oloroso sherry barrels from Jerez de la Frontera. The whisky is also non chill filtered and has an alcohol content of 46%. The appearance of the newly designed bottles all feature the “Signet” logo, which is based on the inscriptions found on the Cadboll Stone. The Cadboll Stone is an object from the time of the Picts, a federation of tribes who lived in the area where the Glenmorangie distillery is now located in the eighth century. The color is full amber
