This is the 12 year old, Sherry cask finished expression from Glenmorangie, dubbed The Lasanta. It first matures in bourbon casks before being moved over to Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks for a finishing period. Plenty rich and creamy with dark chocolate, dried fruit and fresh honey.
Plum and baking spice supported by milk chocolate raisin, caramel and toasty oak.
A dash of tart raspberry coulis leads into a generous helping of sherried dried fruit, with orange marmalade, toasted nuts and berry jam. Sweeter notes of brown sugar and cereal notes appear.
Silky and long, with oily orange peel, cinnamon and hazelnut praline, rounded off by bitter dark chocolate.
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
Of the various Glenmorangies I've tried, this is my favorite so far. Smooth, nice flavors.
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.
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.
Should be priced in the low 50s range. Good taste but not a rich sherry flavor. For a 12yr its pretty good
