Single Malts in the Movies

Crazy Stupid Love....Pappy Van Winkle...might be the 23. There was a lot of other stuff at the "bar".

Come September (1961) has a bottle of White Horse in the background.

Just getting into the whole whiskey passion, I doubt I would even pay attention to any labels on bottles in movies, except when they are like "in your face" kind of product placement thing.

In last week's Burn Notice ("Noble Causes") there was a pour of Glendronach (or Glendullan? I don't remember now) though strangely they referred to it as Dalmore.

I saw that too. I paused on the shot and the bottle said Glencallan. I don't remember the reference to Dalmore, though.

Jobi the characters name was Dal. As he poured for his guest, the guest said " Dal, more."

In the latest episode of Burn Notice Season 5 Episode 17, 29 minutes in, I saw this bottle they used (apparently its made its appearance before) and it said GlenCallan.
Upon trying to find it, here what I discovered:-

water for elephants- laphroaig in first and last scene. can't tell the age statement.

Leverage (Lonely Hearts Job) pours 50 yo Dalmore. Too bad she's drinking out of a shot glass.

In Malice, the great Anne Bankroft is drinking Dalmore 12 and she states:

"Blended whisky is crap no matter what colour the label is".
That statement, directed obviosly at Johnny Walker's range, is so true.

Anne never had Campbeltown Loch 25. Rivals many of the very good single malts.

A recent episode of "30 Rock" featured a bottle of Glenmuckle Bairndavis, though the neck of the bottle had a familiar looking "Est 1824" imprinted on the glass.

So we watched the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (not the Swedish version) last night. In one scene, they ask for a "scotch". The bottle appears to be Cragganmore but you couldn't tell which one. Later on towards the end they are pouring whisky again but you never really get to see the label. However, it had the sea green/blue foil that Bruichladdich favors.

JW Black and Jameson make regular cameos on that show as well. I still remember being exasperated when Jack poured Liz a glass from what looked pretty obviously like a bottle of Jameson and she called it scotch...

Goodfellas, whilst in jail, serve up J&B

Blow Dry also features a J&B closeup.

Living Daylights featured Jim Beam white.

Trouble with the Curve features Amy Adams lipping Glenlivet 18. Yes, it's sad that I could identify the bottle based on the labels that were not legible.

The Macallan 50 Year Old is apparently Bond's favorite in Skyfall. (Wonder how much that cost Macallan...)

Great film BTW (so longs as you like Bonds)

I wonder if it really was a bottle of 50 yo (not the contents). It was the older style of Macallan bottles with a 1962 vintage. They also featured a couple of Macallans in the newer style bottles. Not sure if they were the sherry 12 or 18 or if at least one was a fine oak.

Any single malts sighted in The Hobbit?

[Ganga]

NCIS: LA - "greatest whisky....." Shows statement. Bottle looked like a Lagavulin (labels were placed in the same place with the same shape) but the bottle was clear. 18 not 16 and stated "Islay Single Malt Whiskey" Yup, a mistake in the photoshop.

Yupp, noticed that too!!
Hetty says it's the best scotch ever made.

I remember. He takes a sip, and calls it 'Nectar'.
