Glenmorangie12-year-old Lasanta - 3rd Edition
Summary
This 12-year-old single malt whisky from Glenmorangie, known as Lasanta, is a fine example of the distillery's craftsmanship. Aged initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, it is then finished in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, which impart a rich and complex character to the spirit.

The influence of the sherry casks is evident in the rich, sweet flavors that dominate the palate, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a well-rounded and flavorful whisky. The balance between the sweetness of the sherry and the underlying malt character creates a harmonious and satisfying drinking experience.
