Hollywood icon Harrison Ford has stepped into the world of Scotch whisky, co-creating a bespoke limited edition with Highland distillery Glenmorangie. The Glenmorangie Harrison Ford Limited Edition is a refined single malt crafted to reflect the actor’s personal palate—smooth, elegant, and with what he describes as “an intriguing bite.”
The collaboration follows Ford’s appearance in Glenmorangie’s cinematic ad campaign Once Upon a Time in Scotland, where he first developed a deeper appreciation for the distillery’s craft.
A Whisky Crafted with Precision and Personality
Working alongside Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, Ford helped shape every aspect of the whisky’s flavour profile. The process involved extensive tastings—both in Scotland and across the Atlantic—before arriving at the final blend.
The result is a carefully balanced single malt that combines:
- Classic bourbon cask-aged Glenmorangie
- Rare whisky finished in toasted Portuguese red wine casks
This fusion creates a layered flavour profile featuring:
- Zesty citrus notes
- Sweet hints of muscovado sugar, apricot, and butter candy
- A long finish with orange oil, leather, and oak tannins
According to Lumsden, the whisky reflects both Glenmorangie’s signature elegance and Ford’s preference for a dram with character.
From Scotland to Wyoming: A Cinematic Launch
The whisky’s unveiling comes as part of the latest chapter in Once Upon a Time in Scotland. Directed by Joel Edgerton, the new episode sees Ford reflecting on his Highland experience from his home in Wyoming—tasting the whisky on camera, kilt included.
To amplify the launch, Glenmorangie leaned into Ford’s cinematic legacy, commissioning a Hollywood-style poster illustrated by artist Julien Rico. The campaign has already generated buzz, with notable “reviews” from critics including Mark Kermode and Charles Maclean.
Harrison Ford on the Collaboration
Ford described the experience as both creative and rewarding:
“Collaborating with Dr Bill was a real treat… we tasted many casks together to find something that truly spoke to my taste. The final whisky is everything I want in a dram.”
His verdict on the finished product stays true to his understated style: “It’s very nice.”
