Product Description
Elegant but full-bodied, this whisky has spent ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being extra-matured for a further two years in Oloroso and PX Sherry casks from Jerez in Spain. Lasanta is Gaelic for 'warmth and passion', a reminder not just of the Spanish provenance of these Oloroso sherry butts, but also a reflection of this expression's lusciously soft texture and deep, enticingly sweet aroma. Glenmorangie has long been known for its expertise in wood. For thirty years, our whisky creators have innovated in the art of extra-maturation, maturing spirit first in ex-bourbon casks, then transferring it into ex-wine casks, so that it could gain further layers of flavour. Perfect for all those who wish to start or continue their journey into single malts, this award-winning range showcases our skills in cask management.

Wine EnthusiastAged in Bourbon casks for 10 years, then “extra matured” for two years in Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is luxe and rich, a fine after-dinner sipper. Allow a little time for the aroma to emerge, and a splash of water for maximum flavor. The reward is a thick caramel aroma and flavor, with mouthwatering spicy notes of clove, cassia bark and a hint of orange peel.
Single malt whiskey, a pinnacle of craftsmanship, is exclusively distilled at a single distillery from 100% malted barley. This meticulous process imparts a unique character, reflecting the distillery's location, climate, and traditional methods. As it matures in oak barrels, it develops a complex flavor profile with malt sweetness, fruity notes, and hints of oak. Cherished for its quality and depth, single malt whiskey embodies a distillery's artistry and distinct terroir. Whether enjoyed neat, with water, or in a cocktail, it symbolizes tradition, expertise, and the rich heritage of whiskey-making.
