About this deal

I love Scotch, Scotchy Scotch Scotch’ famously claimed Channel 4’s Ron Burgundy in Anchorman’s opening scene. The tie-in whisky, created to promote the sequel Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, is a blend from Old St. Andrewsusing Speyside, Highlandand Islay whiskies. Named for one of Burgundy’s many mythology-inspired euphemisms (‘By the beard of Zeus!’ is another favourite), the whisky has since been discontinued. These same glasses also make a star appearance in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities – The Viewing episode. In Joshi’s (Robin Wright) LAPD office in Blade Runner 2049 we find an oh-so-beautiful grey metal E63 Table Lamp (also called the Ruspa Table Lamp) designed by Umberto Riva. The Fairy Flag is a little-known Scottish independent fantasy film beset with issues delaying its release. Based on the legendary romance between the chief of the McLeod clan and the faerie queen Titania, it boasts some notable alumni from the film industry including David Lee, who was a cinematographer on the Tom Hanks movie Cloud Atlas, and comedian Ross Noble. Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve said: ‘Like many fans, I remember the Johnnie Walker bottle from the first film, so it was a unique privilege to collaborate with Johnnie Walker on designing a totally original, custom bottle for the new movie.’

Unlike the Cibi whisky glass, the unusual shaped Johnnie Walker bottle was not commercially available. Doing a little research online, I discovered that when props were presented to Ridley and his team, they only had 2 glass bottles available. Ridley and others loved the bottle so much that they wanted a few copies made for production so about a dozen vacuum-formed copies were made. Unfortunately they all leaked so the copies were used for set decoration only and simply became static props. ( Source) Blade Runner 2049 Last year’s Bond parody sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle spawned not one, but two whisky spin-offs. To match the refined sophistication of the Kingsman agents, GlenDronach distillery partnered with film studio 20th Century Fox to bottle a 1991 Sherry cask-matured GlenDronach. Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn chose the vintageas it reflects the birth year of the film’s protagonist, Eggsy. The new expression was created by Johnnie Walker master blender Jim Beveridge with the film’s director, Denis Villeneuve, with one eye on how whiskies of the future might taste.

Probably the coolest tumbler ever made, the 1974 Arnolfo di Cambio CIBI tumbler, now more commonly known as Blade Runner whisky glasses are in fact a ‘Double Old fashion glass’ by The Arnolfo di Cambio company which was founded in Tuscany, Italy in 1963 and in the course of five decades and three generations has become one of Italy’s leading glass manufacturers.

For those in the dark, Final Fantasy is neither a film nor TV show: it’s a long-running series of video games, spanning 30 years and 15 iterations so far. Film franchises often transition from the big screen into our everyday lives, as Happy Meals, or Lego sets, even onto clothing. But an increasing number of films, TV shows and even games are sneaking into our homes as bottles of whisky. The exact whiskey tumblers as seen in Bladerunner. Available from Hard To Find Whisky (worldwide delivery) > If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.I watch Blade Runner 2 or 3 times a year, it’s one of my favorite movies. The mood and ambiance are unique and I always wanted to “be there” in a certain way. More than the story itself, I’m in love with the atmosphere and as a mortal I will not be able to live in that kind of future. From my point of view, that’s where virtual reality has a huge potential. Now, 3D artists have wonderful tools to recreate a world. I use these tools to recreate worlds that I like”. Having learned of the art of blending tea, John transferred the technique to whisky in an attempt to make a more consistent product from the single malts, which could often fluctuate in quality. Single Malt Scotch Whisky such as The Glenlivet is produced at a single distillery, and is made entirely from malted barley. These exceptional Whisky brands are distilled in small batches in traditional copper pot stills, and are typically aged for many years before being bottled as a Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
