Glenmorangie serves up new limited edition inspired by the delights of the ice cream parlour

Now aged 15 years in bourbon and sherry casks, The Lasanta glows with even more complexity and elegance
Glenmorangie Highland single malt Scotch whisky has reimagined Glenmorangie Lasanta, one of the Distillery’s most popular whiskies, to bring even more elegance to its rich spice and luscious sweetness. Now aged for 15 years in a refined combination of bourbon and sherry casks, this delicious favourite in the Distillery’s core range has been enriched with newfound complexity and finesse.
Glenmorangie’s whisky creators, led by Dr Bill Lumsden, are endlessly imaginative on their mission to dream up delicious whiskies. They craft their more delicate, fruity spirit in stills as tall as a giraffe to allow more space for taste and aroma. And they are constantly challenging themselves to take whatever captures their imaginations and turn it into whisky. In The Lasanta, they have bottled mellow flavours reminiscent of a sunset – a magical experience no matter many times you see it.
While that award-winning whisky has long been adored worldwide, Director of Whisky Creation Dr Bill and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald believed they could make The Lasanta even more deliciously complex. And so, they were inspired to age the whisky longer and refine its cask recipe for more balanced layers of flavour; bourbon casks bring Glenmorangie’s signature soft elegance, while select Oloroso sherry casks offer rich sweetness and spice. The result is The Lasanta 15 Years Old – an endless horizon of tastes and aromas including raisins and honey, toffee, clove and cinnamon, brimming with sun-drenched finesse.
Dr Bill 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.”
Glenmorangie’s whisky creators were among the industry pioneers of wood-finishing almost 40 years ago, which is a practice they have perfected to bring new layers of flavour to a variety of their creations. Alongside Glenmorangie Lasanta, the distillery’s port cask-finished expression, the Quinta Ruban, and dessert wine-cask finished whisky, The Nectar, are also in the brand’s core range offering.
Glenmorangie Lasanta 15 Years Old will be available to purchase in the UK from April onwards at Glenmorangie.com and the Distillery Visitor Centre in Tain, RRP: £54.
