Аромат – приятен, сладникав, бонбонен, шери нотки, ванилия, карамел, стафиди, джинджифил, лек кленов сироп, шоколад и дърво. Уискито е 46-градусово и търпи добавяне на вода. С нея се появиха по-отчетливи медени нотки. Вкусът е силен и пикантен, леко сух, стафиден. След капките „роса“ уискито резонно се омекоти, като изпъкнаха плодове, накиснати в бренди. Послевкусът е продължителен, препечен сладкиш, кекс с орехи, сушени горски плодове, сладост. С вода финалът става по-сладникав, която сладост „лепне“ по небцето.

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 y.o. single malt whisky
Glenmorangie is a distillery located in the Highlands area of Scotland which has been producing quality whisky since 1843. At least then it was founded by brothers John and William Mathesen. Production began in 1849, as at the end of the 19th century the company began exportation to Europe and the United States. The Great Depression, US Prohibition and the War significantly affected the export and barely in 1948 the production reached its maximum. So I began my previous article dedicated to Glenmorangie, in particular to Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban /click/. Judging by the good memories of him, I anxiously waited to meet Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 y.o. single malt whisky.The word „Lasanta“ is with Gaelic origin and literally means „warmth“ or „passion“. The whisky owes its characteristic features of the aging in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks.
Aroma. Pleasant, sweetish, candy, sherry notes, vanilla, caramel, raisins, ginger, light maple syrup, chocolate and wood. The whisky has an alcohol content of 46% and allows addition of water. After the addition appeared sharper honey notes. The taste is strong and spicy, slightly dry, raisins. After the drops of „dew“ the whisky reasonably get soften, as became perceptible and fruits soaked in brandy. The aftertaste is long, toasted dessert, cake with walnuts, dried berries, sweetness. The final becomes sweeter with water and that sweetness „sticks“ on the palate.
