Look: Burnt orange, a bit darker than Glenmorangie 10, Lasanta shows the influence of two more years in a barrel. Translucent, plenty of lacing and some alcohol legs. Nose: There’s your typical scotch pear and vanilla that hits me, but also an addition of sherry notes - dark fruits, berries, and surprisingly some smoke. Inhaling fairly deeply, you can get some spice notes as well. Palate: Dark fruit berries, slight vanilla, but not the pear orange that I get from the base so much. Letting the scotch settle on the tongue gives more mild, sweet flavors, and some spice I’d get from a lot of rye heavy bourbons. Finish: Barrel, earthy notes and sherry. I also get the bitter earthy flavor you would after eating a grape. The longer I sip, the more I get a chocolate coffee thing going. Medium finish in length, and not especially hot. Overall: I like Lasanta, but I’m not sure I like it as much as Glenmorangie 10. The sherry really adds a new layer to the whiskey, but may take away some flavors.
