PRESENTERS at tomorrow night’s Oscars ceremony will be taking home a prize of their own courtesy of Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky.
The distillery, north of Glasgow, was approached by the organisers of the 89th Academy Awards, after the malt was selected as a ‘gift from Glasgow’ for each of the 14 stars presenting at the awards.
The line-up of presenters includes Hollywood royalty like Scarlett Johansson, who spent time in Glasgow while filming Under the Skin in 2013, Leonardo DiCaprio and Halle Berry. And each will each have a bottle of Glengoyne 10 Year Old delivered to their dressing rooms ahead of the ceremony, which kicks off at 1.30am UK time (5.30pm LA time) tomorrow night.
Neil Boyd, commercial director of malts at Ian Macleod distillers, the company that own Glengoyne Distillery, said: “Having been approached by the team at the Oscars, we couldn’t be more thrilled that our Glengoyne 10 Year Old will be making its red carpet debut.
“Being Glasgow’s local distillery, it’s a privilege that our whisky will play its part in representing, not only the city, but Scotland at the awards.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
