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.
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. -Ginutis
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.
I liked the 46%. This one tastes watered down.
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!
Lacks delicate or creamy. The extra abc come through. You can do a lot better for the price
