Best Shot Whisky Reviews : Glenmorangie Lasanta Revisited

Hi there and welcome to Best Shot Whisky Reviews,

First weekend in 2013 and it's hot again in Sao Paulo. You might recall that I tasted the Glenmorangie Lasanta recently. I posted the results on December 25, 2012. At that time I found Sulphur and a strange Rhubarb-like off-note. My dram came from a small bottle that is part of the Glenmorangie Gift-Set that also included the 10 Original, the Quinta Ruban and the Nectar d' Or. I did not find the Sulphur and/or the off-notes in the other 3 bottles. When my colleague Rodrigo Fernandes read the Tasting Notes he was very surprised. He had just bought a bottle of Lasanta at the Duty Free and could not find any Sulphur. He offered me a sample that I gladly accepted. Thanks Rodrigo! I tasted the sample today and could not find any off-notes or Sulphur. Obviously something was wrong with my little bottle. As a result, I adjusted the Tasting Notes accordingly and increased the Lasanta final score. Please find the revised Tasting Notes here: Glenmorangie Lasanta.

I would like to wish you all a very nice weekend and hope to see you back tomorrow for more Whisky and Classic Rock.
Saude!
Jan

About this site

There are a lot of people writing about whisky. There are few people that write independent reviews. If you have to believe the first category, there are only excellent whiskies. That just is not true. There are a lot of excellent whiskies yes. As there should be because whisky today is expensive! But there is a lot of indifferent product and some stuff is just not good enough. There is a clear need for independent reviewers. I am one of them. I have nothing to do with the industry. I don't sell anything. I don't have the perfect Palate. My opinion is as good as yours! I just taste whiskies and tell you what I think about them. That's all.
