Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Year Old

This seems to get mixed reviews but I preferred it over many others in the Glenmorangie range. It's slightly different but full of sweet flavours and a decent price too.

is my impression on this one. Outright sherry sweetness that's just not very interesting by itself. This dram's not bad at all. It's smooth and nice and very drinkable and ... then you forget it. Good for refreshment but not much for savouring.

Great value for the price, smooth and welcoming! the sherry influence make it very enjoyable.

24th July 2019

Bit bland - don't really get the impression it's spent too long in sherry casks as I'm struggling to detect much in the way of sherry flavour.

12th July 2019

Very good whiskey, you feel its way through barrels of sweet sherry.

15th June 2019

Was expecting a rich dram of fruits and caramels. Nose is a very light caramel and chocolate and the initial taste is sweet and......not much else. Don’t waste your money and go for the usual 10 year old. A much nicer dram. Pretty disappointed to be honest:(

Not a Glenmorangie fan I’ve tried all there 12s with wine cask finish’s and out of those this is the best one. However it still is watered down and a bit too sweet. Would benefit from higher abv but there’s just too many quality sherried drams that are much better

Loved the 46% version and bought that several times.
Will not be buying this one again, it's good enough, but I don't appreciate the drop in ABV.
With so much choice for whisky buyers, I'm surprised they deliberatley downgrade their product.
Of course it's going to turn people away, I'll get something else instead.

The perfect example of a whisky I would never buy. I had two glass of it last night. Find it quiet pleasant but... So easy and so not fun ! There is no complexity in this whisky, at all! It has been probably made for none whisky drinkers. It is a good thing for getting new clients I guess, but for the others, well, no thanks !
I also tried the 18 yo from Glenmorangie and the difference is impressive... Even it is in the same kind of "taste type", the 18 yo is far, far better... Just as you know !

Start of the bottle needed time to breath. but, once I got to the middle of the bottle, I did get 2 lovely drams full of fruitieness and tuns of marzipan flavours which you'd expect. Then towards end of the bottle I didn't get any marzipan flavours. Also if I swirled around for to long in the mouth then I got a stick dry taste as if I'd sucked a boiled sweet for to long.
So in a nutshell, I'd rather pay the few pounds more for the Nectar D'or which I think is a nicer dram!

Only thing to grumble about here us the price. Possibly the lowered percentage but if you've not had the 46 you'll never know. Not much on the nose initially but let it breathe and you'll find its a truely good dram. The sherry finish is a nice way to round out an already fine whisky. If you see it on sale add it to your collection, well worth a visit.

Drinkable sherry whiskey .. find myself using it for cocktails more than a dram or on the rocks. I think the Quinta or 10 year is a better buy

24th January 2018

Bought this a few months ago and wasn't impressed with my first taste. Tried it again today, and the bottle is improving. Big fan of the Original, and I think this is a nice complement to the 10 year. Finish isn't as long as I might like, probably related to the chill filtering, but you can't have everything I suppose.

22nd January 2018

Good Sherry aroma, but would have been nicer if aged in Sherry casks a little longer. Maybe it was just my bottle but there are heavy notes of tannin and decayed fruit. Addition of water brings out more Sherry sweetness, and possibly some smoke from the charred bourbon barrels.

7th January 2018

Good scotch with some great flavor but I agree with the 3.5 rating...there’s something about it that puts it into “good but not great” territory. Maybe it’s that extra little bit of burn on the end of it, or a bit of an “over-flavoring” taste. But it’s a good bottle to have on hand. Also, a few drops of water doesn’t hurt.

7th January 2018

very smooth , a very clean long lasting finish , let your friends taste it, then you will have a better friend for a long , long time.

I bought this today in the US after enjoying the miniature packed with the Pioneer Gift Set. I like the Sherry offset. I have nothing to compare with this so for me this is a pleasant diversion from traditional 10 year old Glen I buy. Sorry to see it is discontinued.

Both the miniature and the 70cl are 43% for what it's worth.

9th July 2017

I bought a bottle of this for the father in law for Xmas. I ordered a 3cl sample for myself. Hes always been a fan of Glenmorangie whereas I've only tried a few of theirs. This is lovely stuff. As soon as he opens it on Boxing Day Ill get the glasses from the cupboard for him.
Its smooth, fudgey, toffee, chocolatey, creamy but I do love the sweeter sherry cask finishes.

OMG. Fantastic VFM.

I love sherried whiskies (BenRiach PX, GlenDronach, Dailuaine F&F, Knockando slow matured, Bunnahabhain 18 etc). I didn't expect so much reward from a MOTR producer's 12 yo. OK, I have the Nectar D'Or, the Quinta Ruban and the 18 Extremely Rare but I had been put off by lacklustre reviews off the Lasanta.

This is smooooooth, rich, chocolatey, a little wintry spicy, toffee, clotted cream fudge, just absobloodylutely excellent. I'm buying a crate!!!!!!!

30th August 2016

Not as good as their Quinta Ruban, but still, very enjoyable

20th August 2016

The Lasanta is definitely worth the money. Prices vary, but I can usually find it for $45-50 (USD). Light and fruity on the nose, with a hint of caramel and chocolate, but the initial hit on the palate of spice followed by mild peat, smoke and nutty undertones. The finish has a linger of the spice and peat, and tossing it over the rocks or with a couple drops of water expands the florals in the body.

Not quite on the level of my favorite Islays, but a very good Highland for the price point. Would definitely buy again.

21st July 2016

This is a lovely wee dram at a cracking price

19th June 2016

I believe this is one of the best. I am not as well versed in scotch whisky as my husband, but I do know what I like to drink and this is definitely one of the scotch whisky that I would recommend to anyone who drinks single malt scotch. Thanks for having it available.

It's a glenmorangie with some sherry! What's not to love?
It provides a decent step up from the original by giving it some more stewed fruit notes and oaky influence, taking away some of the more bourbon notes that are so prevalent in the original.

8th May 2016

the 46% is better~

20th April 2016

I was quite disappointed because the taste is not long and it doesnt really gives a fruity taste on mouth.
Not big aroma , it doesnt really smell something , has almost same smell like the red label of J.walker.

I tasted this after the glenfiddich rich oak which really has an aroma and a sherry taste, maybe that's why.
I will give it a new try some other day

9th January 2016

Of the various Glenmorangies I've tried, this is my favorite so far. Smooth, nice flavors.

23rd October 2015

I really like this lasanta but only in the 46,i was given a 43 bottle and it just wasn`t the same,you just can`t beat the kick of the 46.
why they went down in this I don`t know .a real shame.

28th June 2015

recognize price will vary around the world. in NJ USA I get this for $47 USD. It is a very good value and has excellent sherry notes. Competes very well with any scotch at that price.

8th June 2015

Should be priced in the low 50s range. Good taste but not a rich sherry flavor. For a 12yr its pretty good

23rd May 2015

But...literally my body chemistry did not mix well with bottle. It was a shame. A few of my friends were raving about it but when I drank it I really didn't feel great afterwards...weird.

Maybe I'll give it another try...but in general Glemorangie is a fav of mine.

I don't know much about scotch, but I bought a few high priced scotches that were basically a waste of my money. Then I saw a YouTube video were the was a scotch/ whiskey expert. He gave this particular one a good recommendation, so I purchased my first bottle of Glenmorangie. I will drink this again and keep a bottle in my house. It was smooth and had some spice to it. For a beginner I would recommend this one.

19th April 2015

I liked the 46%. This one tastes watered down.

27th March 2015

This is a scotch you must discover. Im a fan of peated/smokey scotch and I have to say that I always have a bottle of this one at home. Starts slowly and smoothly, continue with wood and finish with a small kick of fruit coming from the Sherry cask. Extremely well balanced. I dare you to take only one!

23rd February 2015

Lacks delicate or creamy. The extra abc come through. You can do a lot better for the price

18th February 2015

Vanilla on nose. Hint of honey on palate with smooth finish . Complex for great price . Better than macallan 15. One of best values out there

13th January 2015

I like this one but the 46 vol for me hits the button for me would like to see this in an 50 vol bottle that would be a fantasti hit of flavours,why not?
