Facts

Lasanta takes its name from the Gaelic word for warmth and passion, and that idea fits the glass. Glenmorangie builds the spirit in unusually tall stills, giving it a lighter base before sherry casks add weight. You get a clear shift from bright fruit to deeper notes of chocolate and spice. The profile feels rounded rather than sticky, with sweetness held in check by dry wood and gentle pepper. It keeps changing as you sit with it. Each return to the glass reveals another layer.
