Glenmorangie Lasanta / Sherry Cask Finish

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Lasanta is the replacement for the old Glenmorangie Sherry Finish although, to be fair, this new one is a bit stronger at 46%. It says here that 'Lasanta' means 'Warmth and Passion' in Gaelic, which is nice.

This is a very tasty whisky indeed. Instead of there being a melding of sherry and malt, they seem to intertwine over and under each other. A luscious sustained sweetness. And I quite like this style of bottle! Posted By: James Saxon

A fabulous Whiskey. To be enjoyed and not to be rushed. Would make a perfect gift as well as a personal bottle for your cabinet. Posted By: Remmy

Lasanta in Gaelic I do not think the translation is correct meaning warmth and passion do you not mean Blas / Gaoil Posted By: Duncan Strachan Isle of Harris

Posted on 06 Jul 2009 :

Very interesting, Duncan. It says on the box that 'In Gaelic Lasanta means warmth and passion' - is this really incorrect, and if so, what (if anything) does Lasanta actually mean? Is it all just a load of marketing? Posted By: TWE Admin

Posted on 29 Jul 2009 :

It depends whether in Old Gaelic, Middle Gaelic (11-15th century) or present Gaelic, revived in the 19 th cent. in southern Eire's counties.Dear Duncan, in classical dictionary it means warmth Posted By: Alexander Roberts, Glasgow.

It doesn't matter what Lasanta means this is a ridiculously good whisky, as with The Quinta Ruban you'll struggle to find a better smelling whisky and it tastes so good you never want to stop drinking it. Posted By: Smithery-Baggins

You're entitled to your opinion, of course, Smithery-baggins, but I have to disagree - I found both the lasanta and the quinta ruban to be awful, and I've been forced to try them a few times. The lasanta is sulphury, plain and simple, and the quinta ruban is overly sweet and just weird whisky. Posted By: Jimbo

Fair enough, everyone has different tastes and I'm not one of these idiots you tend to find on here that will have a go at you just because you don't share the same opinion but if these are awful to you I'd love to try what you class as a good whisky. Posted By: Smithery-Baggins

Raisin rhum comes to mind for this sweet beauty - more like a dessert - I would not want alot of it - but as a treat - excellent!Someone mentioned sense of richness - yes...and definitely a warm friendliness that lingers long after the love is gone. Posted By: Wayne White

Actually a bit chemically / sulphurous, but this really does seem to vary in intensity from bottle to bottle and, weirdly, from time to time when tasting the same bottle. Never gonna set the world on fire but not so bad. Posted By: Chris The Smith

Liked very much this distinctive whisky. The mouth is met with a powerful start, full of flavour with a hint of fizz on the tongue. The sherry flavours then come through combined with other robust flavours that are balanced nicely, finalised by a very long warming finish. Posted By: Drums

Just got myself a bottle n I'm not sharing it with anyone...

Excellent choice of whisky. Price reasonable - I am not going back to blended whisky anymore. Posted By: Rteo

Put a good pour in the freezer for a couple of hours. Then sip away with one small clear ice cube. A wonderful drink. DMBDavid B Posted By: David B

Tasting Notes:

Producer's Tasting Notes

Aroma: Like the most delicious dessert menu imaginable, Lasanta taunts the senses with chocolate covered raisins, honeycomb and smooth caramel toffee. Citrus notes clear the way for the crispy burnt sugar and melting softness of crème brulee to be replaced by the rich aroma of rum and raisin ice cream

The addition of water to Lasanta exposes another menu of juicy dates and caramelised apricots whose sweetness is offset with hazelnut and walnut oil. Notes of dessert sherry wine emerge, mixed with spice and linseed oil to give a sense of cosiness and age-old comfort

Taste: The full, sweet flavour typical of Spanish sherry with sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butter toffee. The bite of hazelnut tasted through a chocolate coating, spice notes and hints of leather add the overwhelming sense of richness

Finish: Satisfyingly long with spiced orange and chocolate enrobed hazelnuts

Brand Info:

Glenmorangie

Glenmorangie Distillery

Glenmorangie has existed as a distillery since 1843 when William Matheson bought a license to make whisky on the site of a brewery located near the Tarlogie Springs in Ross-shire in the highlands of Scotland. Matheson bought two second-hand gin stills to make his spirit, and the distillery is famous for having the tallest stills in Scotland, although these days there are eight stills rather than just two (with more to come), and Bruichladdich claim that their stills are taller.
