This scotch is another example from the wide range of unusual and surprising outcomes of sherry finishing.  Here, the sherry finishing somehow transforms this scotch into something that resembles other liquors.  The nose is exactly like dark rum, much spicier than a typical scotch, but complemented by a healthy dose of oak, honey glaze, varnish, and some other bourbon-like scents.  There is a layer of raisins underneath that is more of a typical sherry note.  The palate reveals the Glenmorangie Original underlying this dram (Lasanta is the classic 10-year Original, with an additional two years of aging in sherry butts).  It has vanilla in spades, the signature Glenmorangie floral note, and is much lighter, although there are some darker, fruitier sherry notes.  The finish is a combination of berry and cherry, and longer than the Original. I like this better than the star system here indicates, it's a solid 3.5 for me.
