Glenmorangie x Harrison Ford Limited Edition Scotch Whisky

46.5% ABV (93 proof) | 700mL | No age statement | Highland single malt | Ex-bourbon + toasted Portuguese red wine cask finish | Co-created with Harrison Ford & Dr. Bill Lumsden | Glenmorangie Distillery, Tain, Scotland — the Glenmorangie x Harrison Ford limited edition is a genuinely co-created whisky, not a packaging exercise. Launched May 4, 2026 as the second phase of the "Once Upon a Time in Scotland" campaign, it came out of Ford tasting cask-strength samples with Glenmorangie's Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden — and asking for a whisky with "more bite" than classic smooth Glenmorangie. The answer: ex-bourbon-matured Glenmorangie married with a parcel finished in toasted Portuguese red wine casks. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Celebrity whisky collaborations are usually label-deep; this one was blended to a brief. The Portuguese red wine casks add dry red-fruit structure and tannin over Glenmorangie's citrus-and-honey house style, and the 46.5% bottling strength keeps the bite Ford asked for. Among Scotch whiskies, it's the rare limited edition with a documented creation story — filmed in Wyoming and directed by Joel Edgerton.
