Harrison Ford lights up beauty spots as new face of Highland whisky Glenmorangie

Images of Harrison Ford have lit up beauty spots in the Highlands as part of a whisky campaign.

It comes after the Star Wars and Indiana Jones icon teamed up with fellow actor Joel Edgerton to appear in a series of 12 episodic films – titled Once Upon a Time in Scotland.

The campaign saw him visit Glenmorangie’s 180-year-old home in Tain to learn about their distillation process.

Now giant projected images of the 82-year-old star have appeared across Highland landmarks such as the Three Sisters of Glencoe, Castle Stalker and Dunrobin Castle.

It comes amid the release of his favourite episode of the mini series, titled The Mountain, which is available to watch on the Glenmorangie website.

Other episodes saw the 82-year-old enjoy an “authentic Scottish experience” where he learned about pronunciation and etiquette and bonded with locals over a dram – all while wearing a kilt designed by streetwear brand Palace.

The series features Highland locations such as 19th-century Ardross Castle and Loch Glass.

Caspar MacRae, president & CEO of The Glenmorangie Company, said: “Harrison Ford is the real deal: a true global icon, and a genuine whisky lover. It was a dream come true to collaborate on this campaign, and welcome him to our home in the Highlands to discover more about Glenmorangie.

“He is someone who has honed his craft over decades, which gives him a real appreciation for the dedication and skill of our distillery team. Like us, he’s not afraid to laugh at himself – and I think Joel has perfectly captured his authentic warmth, alongside his roguish sense of humour.

“We hope whisky lovers around the world will enjoy exploring the episodes, and learning more about the real people and places behind our whiskies, through Harrison’s eyes.”
