Glenmorangie Lasanta

Flavour Profile

Lasanta is noticeably sweeter and darker in character than The Original, with the sherry cask influence bringing dried fruit, toffee, and a gentle spiciness on top of Glenmorangie's typical citrus and vanilla base.

Tasting Notes

The nose leads with red fruit, dried raisin, and a confectionery sweetness of toffee and marzipan. On the palate, expect orange zest, dried fruit, and a warming spice note, with a moderately long, sweet finish.

How to Drink It

Lasanta is best enjoyed neat, in a tulip shaped glass that concentrates the aroma. It is rich enough to work well as an after dinner sipping whisky rather than a mixing whisky.

Food Pairing

The dried fruit and sherry sweetness pair well with rich, slow cooked dishes such as dal makhani or a mutton rogan josh, where the whisky's fruit and spice notes stand up to the richness of the gravy.

Who Should Try This

Recommended for a drinker who has already tried The Original and wants to explore how a sherry cask finish changes the whisky, or anyone who generally enjoys richer, sweeter styles of whisky.

Similar Bottles

The GlenDronach 12 Year Old and Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask are both sherry forward single malts worth comparing against Lasanta.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING NOTE

Glenmorangie is a spirit meant to be enjoyed slowly and in moderation. Always drink responsibly and only if you are of legal drinking age in your state.
