Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 750ml - Item Code: 02522
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 offers a velvety, warming experience that’s perfect for slow evenings or sharing with friends by the fire. With an ABV of 43%, this single malt Scotch whisky is crafted in Scotland and spends its first decade maturing in American oak ex-bourbon casks before finishing for two years in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This dual maturation imparts a rich complexity, making it a favorite among those who appreciate layered, expressive whiskies.
On the palate, Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 reveals notes of raisins, honeycomb, spiced orange, and toasted nuts balanced by hints of warm spices and chocolate. Its lush sweetness pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, enhancing both the whisky’s dried fruit character and the chocolate’s bittersweet depth. When enjoyed alongside Roquefort cheese, the whisky’s sherried richness complements the cheese’s tangy creaminess for an indulgent tasting experience.
Producer Information: The Glenmorangie Company
The Glenmorangie Company is based in Tain, Ross-shire, in the Scottish Highlands. Established in 1843 by William Matheson, the distillery began its journey with a vision to create single malt Scotch whisky using tall copper stills that are among the highest in Scotland. This unique approach allows for a lighter and more delicate spirit. Glenmorangie sources water from the Tarlogie Springs and employs traditional methods such as slow fermentation and careful cask selection to craft their signature smooth and complex whiskies.
Beyond their flagship single malts, The Glenmorangie Company has expanded its portfolio to include limited edition releases, cask-finished expressions, and rare aged whiskies that appeal to collectors and connoisseurs alike. The company also owns Ardbeg Distillery on Islay, which produces peated single malt Scotch whisky known for its smoky intensity. Through these diverse offerings, Glenmorangie demonstrates expertise across different whisky styles while maintaining a commitment to quality ingredients and innovative maturation techniques within the broader spirits industry.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
