Glenmorangie x Harrison Ford: Limited Highland Single Malt

Glenmorangie Teams with Harrison Ford for Limited Edition Highland Single Malt

Glenmorangie Limited Edition represents a unique collaboration between Glenmorangie and actor Harrison Ford, blending the actor’s personal taste with the distillery’s revered whisky-making tradition. Bottled at 46.5% ABV, this limited edition reflects Ford’s preference for an elegant, spicy Highland single malt. The release stands out for combining classic Glenmorangie bourbon barrel maturation with rare, toasted Portuguese red wine casks.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The whisky’s profile is defined by a marriage of bourbon casks and Portuguese red wine casks, producing an elegant spirit with fresh citrus and intriguing spice. The combination results in lively notes of citrus fruits layered with brown cane sugar, apricot, and soft toffee. The finish extends long with hints of orange oil, leather, and oak tannins, demonstrating the distillery's signature balance of smoothness and complexity.

Master Blender’s and Actor’s Thoughts

Harrison Ford described the collaborative process as a privilege, highlighting his respect for the distillery team and the fusion of art and science in whisky creation. He summed up the whisky simply yet emphatically: “It’s nice. It’s very nice.” Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, praised the final result for its elegance and surprising spice, calling the whisky “timeless and surprising… just like Harrison Ford himself.”
