Glenmorangie has today announced the relaunch of its core range Lasanta bottling – one of the Highland-based distillery’s most popular whiskies.

Glenmorangie Lasanta (43% ABV) which now carries a 15 Year Old age-statement, is a single malt Scotch whisky matured in a combination of Bourbon and Sherry casks.

While the multi-award-winning Glenmorangie Lasanta has long been adored worldwide, Director of Whisky Creation Dr. Bill Lumsden and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald believed they could heighten its complexity by extending its maturation and refining its cask recipe.

The new Glenmorangie Lasanta, is said to deliver notes of mead, honeycomb, walnut, charcoal, carnation, flowering currants, chocolate-coated raisins, baking bread and toffee on the nose. Followed by notes of Brazil nuts in toffee, molasses, charcoal, cinnamon, clove, leather, oak tannins and dark chocolate on the palate.

Commenting on the launch, Dr Bill Lumsden, said: “With its rich spice and luscious sweetness, Glenmorangie Lasanta is a whisky that elicits the radiant wonder of sunset and has been a favourite of Glenmorangie fans for some time. Now aged for 15 years in an enhanced selection of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, we’ve introduced even more complex and elegant notes to this whisky, all working together in delicious balance.”

The new Glenmorangie Lasanta will start rolling out from April, and will be available directly from the distillery and specialist retailers, for a RRP of £54.00.
