India’s premium whisky landscape continues to evolve, and Glenmorangie is raising the bar once again with the launch of its latest aged expression, The Lasanta 15 Years Old. Known worldwide for its elegant Highland single malts, Glenmorangie has introduced this richly layered whisky to Indian consumers, offering a sophisticated balance of sweetness, spice, and complexity.
The launch marks another significant milestone in Glenmorangie’s premium portfolio, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship while catering to the growing demand for mature and flavour-forward whiskies in India.
A New Chapter in Glenmorangie’s Aged Whisky Collection
The introduction of The Lasanta 15 Years Old completes Glenmorangie’s refreshed aged range, which now includes 12, 15, and 18 Years Old expressions. This carefully structured collection allows whisky enthusiasts to explore the distillery’s signature house style through different levels of maturity and complexity.
Following the transformation of The Original into a 12 Years Old expression and the launch of Infinita 18 Years Old, The Lasanta 15 Years Old takes its place as the brand’s dedicated sherry-forward offering, delivering greater depth and character than ever before.
Inspired by the Warmth of a Sunset
The name “Lasanta” translates to “warmth and passion” in Gaelic, perfectly reflecting the whisky’s personality. Inspired by the magical colours and emotions of a sunset, this expression aims to capture those moments in a glass.
Matured for 15 years in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, the whisky offers a harmonious balance between rich sweetness and warming spice. The extended ageing process enhances the whisky’s complexity while preserving Glenmorangie’s signature fruity elegance.
Crafted for Modern Indian Whisky Drinkers
Indian consumers are increasingly gravitating toward premium whiskies with layered flavour profiles, and The Lasanta 15 Years Old arrives at the perfect time.
The marriage of bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry casks creates a distinctive flavour journey. Bourbon casks contribute smooth vanilla and honeyed sweetness, while Oloroso sherry casks add rich dried fruit notes, spice, and depth.
The result is a sophisticated single malt featuring notes of raisins, honey, toffee, cinnamon, and clove, making it both approachable for newer enthusiasts and rewarding for seasoned whisky lovers.
The Signature Glenmorangie Character
A defining feature of Glenmorangie whiskies is the use of Scotland’s tallest stills, often referred to as the distillery’s iconic giraffe-high stills. These unusually tall stills produce a lighter and fruitier spirit, allowing delicate flavours and aromas to flourish.
Even after 15 years of maturation, The Lasanta retains this hallmark character while gaining additional richness from its extended time in carefully selected casks.
What Glenmorangie’s Whisky Experts Say
According to Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Whisky Creation at Glenmorangie, The Lasanta has long represented the beauty and warmth of a sunset.
He explains that by extending the maturation period to 15 years and refining the cask composition, the team has created a whisky with greater elegance, balance, and complexity. The final expression is designed to deliver the same layered beauty and evolving character that one experiences while watching a sunset.
Smriti Sekhsaria, Marketing Director at Moët Hennessy India, believes the launch strengthens Glenmorangie’s position in India’s growing premium whisky market. She highlighted that the expanded aged portfolio allows consumers to progress through increasingly sophisticated expressions while exploring deeper flavour experiences.

Why The Lasanta 15 Years Old Stands Out
The launch of The Lasanta 15 Years Old showcases Glenmorangie’s expertise in sherry cask maturation while offering whisky lovers a richer and more nuanced interpretation of one of the distillery’s most beloved expressions.
For consumers seeking a single malt that combines fruit-forward elegance with indulgent sweetness and warming spice, The Lasanta 15 Years Old presents a compelling choice. It not only strengthens Glenmorangie’s premium range but also reflects the evolving tastes of Indian whisky enthusiasts who increasingly value craftsmanship, complexity, and memorable drinking experiences.

As India’s appreciation for premium single malts continues to grow, Glenmorangie’s latest release arrives as a timely and exciting addition to the market. With its 15 years of maturation, carefully selected cask influence, and beautifully balanced flavour profile, The Lasanta 15 Years Old offers whisky lovers a chance to experience the warmth, richness, and elegance that have made Glenmorangie one of the world’s most respected whisky makers.
Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or during a special celebration, The Lasanta 15 Years Old invites drinkers to savour every sip like a spectacular sunset.
