Distillery
Glenmorangie is a Scottish distillery in the Highlands, near the Dornoch Firth. The name comes from a Gaelic expression meaning "valley of calm". It was originally a brewery for the town of Tain until William Matheson converted it to a distillery in 1843. Records show that as early as the late 19th century it was sold in luxury hotels such as The Savoy, a testament to its quality at the time.
In 1959, after a brief hiatus, it returned as a single malt whiskey and quickly became the best seller in Scotland. Glenmorangie is famous for its tall 'giraffe' stills which produce a fine, fruity and sweet spirit. Thanks to the innovations of Dr. Today, Billa Lumsden is also known for its experimental limited editions, using different varieties of barley and types of whiskey barrels.
Since 2004, the distillery has been owned by the French company Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH).
Bottle
Glenmorangie The Lasanta is a single malt whisky that is first matured in bourbon casks and then undergoes final maturation in Oloroso and PX (Pedro Ximenez) Spanish sherry casks. This process gives the whisky a rich and full flavor with complex notes of sweet fruit and spice. "Lasanta" means "warmth and passion" in Gaelic, which is reflected in its flavor profile.
Nose: Rich with notes of raisins, dried apricots, honey, and a subtle presence of sherry, complemented by hints of chocolate and orange peel.
Taste: Smooth and full, with flavors of chocolate, caramel, nuts, and spices. Sherry casks add subtle raisin notes and dried fruit sweetness.
Finish: Long and warm, with lingering notes of sherry, spice, and dark chocolate.
Glenmorangie The Lasanta is a popular choice for lovers of rich and complex whiskies, where sherry adds depth and a refined sweetness.
