Glenmorangie Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 12 Year

Nose is banana loaf with raisans. Palate it spicy with Cinammon but relatively light Finish is short with more spice and wood.

The nose starts with slightly charred cinnamon raisin bread with light burnt match sulfur then comes some sour cherries and apple pie filling before barrel spices and a tannic smell between used black tea bag and old wet log with light ethanol burn. The taste is a thin mouthfeel starting with apple pie filling and sour cherries then charred cinnamon raisin toast with burnt match that quickly turns overly bitter and spicy with a Sichuan pepper along with used black tea leaves along with medium ethanol burn that finishes medium length with sour cherries, high percentage dark chocolate, sulfur, burnt cinnamon raisin toast and used espresso grounds. In comparison with the 10 year, I prefer the 10 as this isn’t as balanced and the sherry finishing brings a sulfur note along with some tannic oak that overpowers the mid-palate blocking the rest of the flavors from coming through. If you’re a fan of eating burnt cinnamon raisin toast with some sour cherry and apple jam while sipping some extra-long steeped black tea in a room with some burning matches to complete the experience, this might be your jam, but it’s just not for me. A big thanks to @ctbeck11 for the sample for my review.
