Ewan's Cut

240 INDIVIDUAL STORIES... ABOUT ONE STORY

A long time ago...

...on an island not far away, Ewan McGregor opened the Isle of Arran Distillery, at Lochranza. As a thank you, he was gifted an ex-sherry hogshead cask of single malt whisky. The cask was laid down at the distillery. And the precious liquid inside began its 26-year journey to maturation.

Cut to 2024. And this rare whisky is ready for the world. 240 bottles of 26-year-old single malt, drawn from Ewan’s original cask. But it needed a name. Cue The Leith Agency. We called it Ewan’s Cut: a ‘cut’ of whisky like no other for a Scottish movie icon like no other. Yet, that still wasn’t the final act.

We also needed a label design fit for such an exclusive release of whisky. And so it was that the Leith Agency wrote 240 bespoke labels. Each one a unique script, inspired by Ewan’s life and work – and the life of the cask itself. Each one a little story. Each one making its bottle a complete one-off.

Now, 150 of those original 240 bottles of Ewan’s Cut are being auctioned for his chosen charity, CHAS (Children's Hospices Across Scotland), with 24 of those hand-signed by Ewan himself. They’ll be auctioned by Whisky Auctioneer, the world’s leading online whisky auction, on the 27th of September. You can explore all the labels on this site. Maybe even pick which one you’d bid for…

Sláinte.
