Color

Chestnutoloroso sherry

Nose

Zuerst die typische Glenmorangie-Citrusnote, dicht gefolgt von Badeseife und einer gut eingebundenen, fruchtigen Sherrynote. Recht kraeftig und prickelnd in der Nase (wohl den 46% geschuldet...). Außerdem Malz. Im Hintergrund rieche ich noch Vollmilchschokolade und leicht grasige Noten.

Taste

Deutlicher Sherry! Viel Volumen und kraeftiger Antritt im Mund (die 46% tun im wirklich gut...). Malz und Eiche in Form von Zartbitterschokolade.

Finish

Malz und dunkle Fruechte. Deutliche Eiche. Kraeftig und waermend.

Comments

Gefaellt mir sehr gut! Schoen eingebundener Sherry und kraeftige 46%. Außerdem gutes PLV!

Has been aged for 10 years in American white oak which has been
previously bourbon. After this long period the distillate is poured into
Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for a two year finish to get the whole finish.

An Oloroso sherry finished whisky from Glenmorangie, the word `Lasanta` derives from the Gaelic for Warmth and Passion.

Color

Chestnutoloroso sherry

Nose

Slightly bitter sherry delivery. Drying. Prickly and flowery. Sweet, dark fruits, maybe ripe plums or dates. Chocolate and a little bit of a salty note. Fresh, though.

Taste

Fresh again, salty caramel. A hint of minty freshness. Flowery again, citrus fruits and a little dry.

Finish

Medium length. The sherry sticks around for a long time and so does the drying prickle. Chocolate sweetness then, with vanilla and malt.

Comments

This is a very affordable whisky and a quality dram, considering that. Still I feel this is not Glenmorangie's finest moment.

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 Sherry casks from Jerez in Spain.

Smooth, creamy and sweet nose, with the sherry tones nestling in the background. Adding water didn`t do too much. Things start to become less balanced on the palate, and it falls apart a bit at the finish, which is short with bitter notes. Not as good as the nectar d`or or standard bottling.

Color

Russetmuscat

Nose

Da werde ich zuerst an einen herzhaften Biss in ein frisches Zuckerrohr in meiner Jugend erinnert. Dann kommen Toffee, Schokolade und dann erst die Gedanken an ein sherrydurchtraenktes Fass. Alles zusammen ergibt eine beschwingte Harmonie.

Taste

Trockenes Sherryfass; kraftvoll, aber weich; deutlich, aber nicht vernichtend oder zu aufdringlich. Schokolade, Doerrfruechte, Gewuerze.

Finish

Alles geht ueber in den waermenden Abgang, angenehm weich. Eventuell kommen da noch Orangenschalen dazu?

Comments

Einer der "Muetter aller finished Whiskies", eine vollkommene Komposition, ohne den zugundeliegenden Tropfen zu (zer-)stoeren, wie ich es bei anderen Finished schon erleben durfte/musste. - Von "Schwefel" konnte ich bei meinem Batch nichts feststellen, aber eben - unsere Geschmacksknospen reagieren verschieden und unser Hirn gbit auf die Reize unterschiedlichste Assoziationen ab.

"Updated in summer 2010, Glenmorangie Lasanta now boasts an age statement
of 12 years old. Lasanta is a sherry-finished Glenmorangie and is said
to mean `Warmth & Passion` in Gaelic."

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Color

Old gold

Nose

The nose is very soft and sweet with loads of dark fruits like plums, raisins and dades. Crème brûlée and honey, but also lighter fruit like peach on syrup. Somewhat dusty, but nicely creamy too. I must say, I like this.

Taste

Very creamy on the palate. Feisty on ginger and cinnamon. Immediately a sweet wave of honey and caramal follows, sugar and orange zest and hints of berries.

Finish

The playful finish on ginger and oranges ends with a touch of oak.

Comments

At 45 EUR for a 1 litre bottle, this is a nice price/quality deal.

Color

Burnished

Nose

Chocolate covered raisins. Caramel syrup. Spice cake. Hints of oak. Hazelnuts?

Taste

Honey and caramel. Port over vanilla ice cream. Drying on the tongue. Shoe polish.

Finish

Dry and woody. Soft sherry tones fades to more honey.

Comments

Funny thing is that this whisky tastes like Glenmorangie that has had something added to it, rather than a whisky that has been "finished".

In an interstellar burst, I\'m back to save the universe.

Color

Russetmuscat

Nose

First impressions were mistaken. The struck match scent has appeared, although its not too bad. Its settling down now and there's a lovely orangey tang to the malt, like a rich orange cake dusted with icing sugar.

Taste

The first taste, brought back the sulphur, but perseverance allows the malt to come through. The oranges are there, but I'm not really getting much more than that. I think the sulphur is just killing it. I wonder if this mini was from the early batch

Finish

Long enough, but not very exciting.

Comments

Its not really doing it for me I'm afraid. I know some folks are having good experiences with this and I've had a couple myself, but this particular one is a duffer imo.

It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

Nez : Très épicé (trop pour moi), poudre de chocolat, une pointe de souffre (qui va envahir le verre une fois celui-ci vide, on aurait cru mettre le nez dans une poudrière

Bouche : Certaines personnes ont eu la désagréable impression de bouchon en boucheâ€

Finale : de nouveau trop « chaude », trop boisée, épicée, soufrée aussi.

Rather short, pretty intensive and sweet.

Color

Burnt umber

Nose

A strong sulphure presance, every time a took a good sniff it was over powering, made me cough, a nosehair remover.

Taste

Put an ice cube in it which calmed it down a bit, still sharp with a touch of liquorice

Finish

A bitter dry end. Not a good malt at all

Comments

I LOVE Glenmorangie, so what went wrong, did i get a bad batch?

A summer drinking whisky.
Be careful with this one, you may not realise just how much you have drank until it is too late!

Sweet and smooth, a great whisky.
