2015 Glenmorangie The Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 750ml

Crafted with precision, this 12-year-old single malt undergoes a meticulous extra maturation in Oloroso and PX Sherry casks following its initial bourbon barrel aging. The result is a profoundly rich and sweet Highland whisky, exhibiting a remarkable depth of character and a voluptuous mouthfeel perfect for an evening dram.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A beautifully rich and complex nose, immediately revealing layers of spiced prune, dark chocolate, and candied orange peel. Underlying notes of honeyed malt, toasted nuts, and a subtle hint of tobacco leaf emerge, supported by a delicate floral whisper.

Palate: The palate is remarkably full-bodied and velvety, exploding with flavors of warm gingerbread, sticky toffee pudding, and sun-dried raisins. A delightful spice rack character unfolds with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper, balanced by sweet vanilla and a gentle oak influence. The sherry influence is pronounced but well-integrated, adding depth without overpowering.

Finish: A long, lingering, and ultimately satisfying finish. Rich echoes of dried fruit, cocoa, and a comforting warmth of baking spices persist, gently fading to a pleasant dry oak and a whisper of almond. The sweetness remains, but never cloying.
