Glenmorangie Lasanta is a distinguished Highland single malt that embodies the Gaelic meaning of its name - "warmth and passion." This expertly crafted 12-year-old whisky begins its journey with ten years of maturation in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, followed by a careful two-year finishing period in hand-selected Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Jerez, Spain. This dual-cask maturation process creates a beautifully rounded and complex spirit that showcases the distillery's commitment to innovation while honoring traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques.

Serving Suggestions: Perfect for neat sipping to fully appreciate its complex sherry influence, or with a splash of water to open up the aromatics.
