What's in a name? Glenmorangie Lasanta whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Glenmorangie Lasanta whiskey, rather than whisky.
The nose is creamy and of caramel, crème anglaise and chocolate raisins, quite dry with notes of mixed sweet spices. The mouth feel is very thick as you chew through honeyed raisins. There is a little sweet beeswax, melted vanilla ice cream as the sherry weaves gently through the palate, a very buttery expression. Much more of that honey in the creamy finish, it has a slight oaky dryness and a dusting of cocoa powder. ...more
The Master of Malt
Grapy and full of character...
A beautiful dram if you like them rich; Really thick mouthfeel and the normal floral notes are much more subtle than most Glenmorangies, Think raisins and figs. Sweet warming finish, this and the Astar are my favorite Glenmorangie expressions for sure.
Rich taste of Sultanas / Raisins
At first didn't like it much due to the almost overpowering taste of sultanas on the palate..but after a few more I found it grew on me..rather surprisingly..I would definitely recommend this one for those who like a rich yet smooth and spicy single malt.

This is how Xmas Pud would taste in It's Wonderful Life. I tried it alongside the Bruichladdich Pedro Ximénez and while I concede it isn't necessarily a like for like comparison, to my mind the Lasanta blew it away. It's incredibly smooth, warm and dessert-like. One for wood-panelled rooms with roaring fires and leather upholstery. Phenomenal stuff and worth twice the price.
