Glenmorangie ‘Lasanta’ 12 year-old starts out as the Glenmorangie Original, aged 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks, but gets an extra-long 2-year finish in ex-Sherry casks.

Nose:Plum and baking spice supported by milk chocolate raisin, caramel and toasty oak.

Palate:A dash of tart raspberry coulis leads into a generous helping of Sherried dried fruit, with orange marmalade, toasted nuts and berry jam. Sweeter notes of brown sugar and cereal notes appear.

Finish:Silky and long, with oily orange peel, cinnamon and hazelnut praline, rounded off by bitter dark chocolate.
