    71. Too much of a burn. Taste is bearable, but I'll take Glenlevit over this (and that says a lot). Wouldn't spend my money on this. This will give you heartburn.

    82. I love a syrupy scotch! Honey nose with a noticeable alcohol hit. First the pepper hits, then a real nice smooth sitting in the middle of the tongue. Nice and sweet and the honey and vanilla sits nice in the mouth. LOVE all my Glanmorangies!!! Can't beat this one for the price.

    82. Not overbearing at all. Nose has distinct alcohol smell, not much else. Oily with a woody campfire and pepper blend. Great scotch for those just getting into the peat, but not ready for the serious stuff yet.

  • Glenmorangie Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 12 Year

    Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

    Reviewed November 1, 2014 (edited May 20, 2017)
    2017 San Francisco World Spirit Competition Award Winner ??. Tried this tonite but can't rate it. Waitress served it on the rocks. I reminded her it was to be neat. Came back and obviously the bartender just strained it into another glass. Bartender denied it but it was so watered down. Such a letdown because was looking forward to trying this one.

    77. So I'm at Chili's in Orange, Tx...therefore limited selection in the city and at the restaurant. Ordered what they had and realized I've not reviewed this one. A watered down scotch for my current palate. No peat. Slight pepper at the tip of my tongue. Goes down easy. Also really has no nose to it. Am I turning into a scotch snob???

    87. This scotch will put hair on your chest - male or female! Nose is deceiving. Smells of honey and light pepper. Bites your tongue right above the middle. Wonderful taste...make sure to let it dwell in your mouth. Has a hint of bitters on the finish.

    87. Had 3 drams this evening at Flemings Steakhouse. A tasty surprise. Nose was full of sugary honey. Sweet and fruity for sure, but just the right amount of peppery spice to make it distinctive among the others (like Glenmorangie 18). Perfect scotch for a new drinker.

    90. Very impressed! Nose is more sweet (honey +vanilla) than peat. Hits the tongue with just the right amount of earth. Has almost a syrup feel as it dwells in the mouth. Taste lasts sweet and spicey (more sweet) at the top of the tongue. Wonderful aftertaste of honey and vanilla!!

    83. Take Oban 14, dress it in a tux and POOF, you've got 18! The 14 is a core scotch for me...this one just one-upped it. 14 has a short kick in the aftertaste that I've always noticed and never enjoyed. The 18 smooths that out and creates an extremely drinkable dram.
