Harrison Ford joining Glenmorangie should have been an easy win for me. I love Harrison Ford films and Glenmorangie remains one of the distilleries that shaped my whisky journey. But while the whisky itself sounds genuinely promising, the growing wave of celebrity whisky collaborations is starting to leave me conflicted.
Glenmorangie Distillery has built its reputation on precision rather than noise, producing a lighter Highland style shaped by Scotland’s tallest stills and a meticulous approach to cask maturation. From the approachable Original 12—one of the best entry points into single malt whisky—to the deeper, more experimental Signet, this is a distillery that rewards attention over time. Here’s a closer look at its history, core range, and what makes a visit to Tain worth the journey.
Glenmorangie 12 The Original is a gentle, fruit-forward Highland single malt designed to welcome new drinkers into Scotch whisky, now aged two years longer without a price increase.
Some whiskies are made for tasting—others for celebrating life’s biggest milestones. In this Glenmorangie Signet review, I revisit a bottle opened to mark the birth of my son and explore its rich layers of chocolate, spice, red fruit, and luxurious depth. A beautifully balanced dram that more than earns its premium reputation.
This Whisky Wednesday I went for a walk with my fiancée and attempted to pour her something she might like.
