Regular price $89.99 Sale price $59.97 Save $30.02
Notes from the Maker:
Elegant but full bodied this whisky has spent ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being extra-matured for a further two years in Oloroso and PX Sherry casks from Jerez in Spain.
Lasanta is Gaelic for warmth and passion, a reminder not just of the Spanish provenance of these Oloroso sherry butts, but also a reflection of this expressions lusciously soft texture and deep, enticingly sweet aroma.Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Warm spices mix with smooth chocolate covered raisins, honeycomb and caramel toffee.
Taste: Deliciously sweet sherry flavoured sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butterscotch combine to create complex warm spices.
Finish: Long and satisfying finish with spiced orange and chocolate covered hazelnuts.

Best Single Malt Scotch (12 Yrs), Top 15 Whiskies Of 2022 - Intl Whiskey Competition
93 Pts - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2022
"Lovely definition on the palate with smooth vanilla, fresh zesty citrus, tangy ginger and a welcome puff of drying peat smoke on the finish."
92 Pts, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"Elegant, with nice bottom notes of roasted hazelnuts and toasted pecans, this whisky has a core of roasted Bosc pear and quince, with lacings of butterscotch and crushed clove. The finish is long and even with a hint of wood tannin."
