A Whisky to Chew On.
The Glenmorangie Distillery was founded in 1843 when the Matheson brothers converted the Morangie farm into a distillery. It lies just north of Tain, on the wind-swept coastline of Easter Ross. Their stills are the tallest found in Scotland – as tall as a giraffe, apparently – of the same design as those used in the 1880's which were in fact second-hand Gin stills. Which means that only the very lightest vapours make it to the top, resulting in a smooth and elegant Scotch Whisky.
In 2004 the distillery was sold to LVMH, a French multinational luxury goods conglomerate. It has since adopted a brave strategy of giving their drams French-sounding names, which on the looks of things, has payed out for them.
Glenmorangie Lasanta was awarded silver outstanding by the IWSC last year. It is finished in Oloroso Sherry casks to give it a very huggable character that will keep you warm through winters and loved through summers. It is what we would call a chewing Whisky as it expands in your mouth to reveal the taste profile gleaned from ten years in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks then two years in Oloroso and PX sherry casks.
SmartAss corner:
Lasanta is Gaelic for warmth and passion.

Ratings & Reviews
Peter,
Lasanta is my new favorite.
Peter,
Sweet taste, the extra 2 years in Sherry cask is awesome. Long great finish
Eric,
Bright sweet nose. Caramel, honey, sherry and dried fruits. Rich and creamy, very smooth with no residual alcohol on the finish. Perfect way to finish the day/meal
Mikel,
Drinkable if a friend gives it to me but to much Sherry flavor.
Russ,
A very nice single malt. A fairly decent flavor profile, nice on the nose. Very low cost for quality of of the flavor profile. Try this one out.
Scott,
OK, so we went to Scotland last year and distant relatives got me pointed to single malts. Been developing my taste for several types from various regions. Glenmorangie produces something north of 10 million bottles per year and not the quaint craft distillery but darn this is nice. I really enjoy the sherry caske finish and smooth end. Look forward all week to have a dram or two on Friday evening. Stopped at an Idaho liquor store and found it for $49 on sale so got two. Washington taxes would take it to near $75.
