'Lasanta' by Glenmorangie is an elegant and full-bodied scotch whiskey produced in the Highlands that is aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels and matured for another two years in former Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez in Spain . The word 'Lasanta' in Gaelic means warmth and passion, not only in remembrance of the Spanish provenance of Oloroso sherry barrels, but also for this expression with a soft and deep texture, and its sweet and seductive aroma. Whiskey not cold filtered to keep its aromas and flavors unaltered. Full-bodied and sweet, notes of sherry, raisins, caramel and hints of walnuts and orange wedges. Long and slightly dry finish with notes of spiced orange and chocolate.

In 1843 a former brewery was converted into a distillery by William Matheson, who effectively sanctioned the birth of the Glenmorangie Distillery. Located in the North Highlands region, therefore in the northern part of Scotland that extends towards the North Sea, the Glenmorangie has faced numerous vicissitudes over the years. Currently, with 16 employees, a number that has been superstitiously kept unchanged for 150 years, the Glenmorangie, which is not surprisingly called the “16 man distillery”, continues to produce prestigious and high quality Whiskeys. Using stills over five meters high, very pure distillates are born, which are left to mature in special barrels, previously used for aging Sauternes, Sherry, Pedro Ximenez, SuperTuscan and Porto. Exceptional whiskeys, renowned and unanimously appreciated by all the most demanding lovers of the category.
