✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept Highlands of Tain, Scotland, Glenmorangie is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and its exceptionally tall copper stills—the height of an adult giraffe—which yield an elegant, pure spirit. 'Lasanta,' Gaelic for warmth and passion, is a masterclass in wood finishing. This single malt spends its first ten years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a two-year extra-maturation process in hand-selected Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Spain. This dual-cask maturation infuses the whisky with luscious notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits, honeycomb, and warm spices, reflecting a rich heritage of distilling craftsmanship that dates back to 1843.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth near Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated globally as a pioneer of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, whose soaring swan necks allow only the lightest and purest vapours to ascend, yielding an exceptionally delicate and floral new-make spirit. Utilizing mineral-rich water from the protected Tarlogie Springs and premium Scottish barley, Glenmorangie has long led the industry in revolutionary wood management and bespoke cask finishing under the stewardship of Moët Hennessy. Their expansive portfolio ranges from the quintessential, citrus-and-vanilla-laden 'The Original' to intricate, chocolate-malt innovations like Signet and highly collectible rare vintage expressions.
