Glenmorangie Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 24, 2017 -
Nose: smooth, sweet, honey and butterscotch on the foreground, shades of heather. Palate: well-expressed flavour of butterscotch, followed by gentle oaky theme. Good balance, one can feel a decent age of this whisky. Aftertaste: mid-to-long, warming, sweet, spicy. Overall: very good for a proper price, $40 for 0.75l would be an upper adequate price level (at least in Russia, early 2017). This whisky is good for thoughtful tasting, and it's great for drinking with your friends. 3,3/5 stars (78 score).

Nose: sweet, honey-like and slightly alcoholic. Taste: sweetness, butterscotch shades, rather smooth, light- bodied, with a light alcohol touch. Aftertaste: short, warming, not bad. Overall: this blend definitely shows the similar style as it's older brother - Dewar's 15 The Monarch. But! It's very young, having higher grain whisky percentage in it's content, and, consequently, more bland and alcoholic. Good inexpensive dram. 2,5 stars (70 score)

Aroma: a bit raisins, faint shades of hay and honey, spirit and fruits on the background. Primitive. Taste: smooth & sweet, well expressed oakiness, followed by spices. Good and easy to drink, but lacks a complexity. Aftertaste: mid-to-long, warming and simple. Not bad. Overall: mild, sweet and fruity profile. 3,4/5 stars (78,5 score)
