Harrison Ford Co-Creates Glenmorangie Limited Edition
Hollywood legend
Harrison Ford has officially launched his own limited edition of
Glenmorangie Highland single malt Scotch whisky. This release, highly anticipated by fans and whisky lovers alike, showcases Ford's personal taste and appreciation for fine spirits. Known for his roles in iconic films, Ford's venture into whisky crafting is a delightful surprise that reflects both his character and passion.
Ford's journey with Glenmorangie began during the filming of an engaging advertising campaign titled
Once Upon a Time in Scotland, where he embraced the brand while portraying himself. Captivated by the whisky's elegance, he teamed up with Glenmorangie's renowned
Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden MBE, to craft a unique expression that aligns with his refined palate. The result? A
smooth yet intriguing whisky that Ford affectionately describes as “
very nice.”
The Perfect Blend
The
Glenmorangie Harrison Ford Limited Edition is a refined blend created exclusively for Ford's enjoyment. The whisky combines classic bourbon cask-aged Glenmorangie with a rare whisky that has been finished in toasted Portuguese red wine casks. This innovative approach results in a tantalizing contrast, merging Glenmorangie's traditional elegance with a zestier, tangy character.
As Ford himself describes, the whisky exhibits zesty citrus notes that harmoniously dance across the palate. These flavors are well complemented by hints of
muscovado sugar,
apricot, and
butter candy. The finish is notably long, leaving a delightful trace of orange oil, leather, and oak tannins—a true testament to its intricate crafting.
The unveiling of this exquisite whisky was captured in a newly released episode of the
Once Upon a Time in Scotland series, filmed in
Wyoming, Ford's home state. In a charming and nostalgic manner, Ford reflects on his experiences at Glenmorangie and savors the taste of his signature whisky for the first time, donning a traditional
kilt in the process.
Craftsmanship and Collaboration
During the whisky-making process, Dr. Bill Lumsden played an invaluable role. After meeting Ford at the distillery, he began sending samples across the Atlantic to refine the final recipe based on Ford’s preferences. Their collaboration was grounded in a shared understanding of the craft, blending art and science to create an outstanding product.
Dr. Bill recalls, “Harrison is an avid whisky enthusiast. Making him an honorary member of our Whisky Creation Team was thrilling. We infused his love for whisky into this special release.” He emphasizes that while the whisky maintains Glenmorangie's signature smoothness, Ford’s preference for a “little bite” was masterfully incorporated, resulting in layered flavors that evoke both elegance and excitement.
The
Glenmorangie Harrison Ford Limited Edition showcases hallmark notes such as
honeysuckle,
citrus, and
buttery softness, balanced with the tang and structure from the specialized casks. The team’s favorite question, “What if?”, ignites their creative spirit, producing whiskies that tell unique stories and foster emotional connections.
Ford expressed immense pride in the finished product. “I have enormous respect for the Glenmorangie team and their mastery. Our creation embodies everything I appreciate in a whisky. I truly hope fans enjoy it as much as I do!”
