The Golden Globes 2026 are known not only for their glamour and star power, but also for the legendary gift bag given to winners and presenters. This year’s bag packs serious value and a standout nod to whisky. Inside is an entire case of the water of life from a renowned distillery.
The Golden Globes are a major spectacle every year, and the organizers are going big once again. The contents of the so-called
Ultimate Gift Bag are estimated to be worth just under one million dollars, featuring a striking selection of exclusive spirits, luxury travel, and lifestyle upgrades.
This year, 35 recipients of the Golden Globes Gift Bag can look forward to a gift bag loaded with an array of luxury items. This year there is a lot of alcohol involved, with a generous share reserved for
Isle of Harris Distillery.
Whisky in the spotlight: Isle of Harris Distillery
The distillery is including a crate with six bottles of whisky in every bag. The whisky comes from a special cask bottled exclusively for the Golden Globes.
The exact expression remains under wraps, but the value of this portion of the bag is known: roughly 1,080 dollars.
Isle of Harris also appeared in the 2025 gift bag, then with bottles of gin and its debut single malt, The Hearach single malt whisky.
More than whisky in the gift bag
There’s more than whisky in this year’s bag. There’s Cygnet gin, winners get no less than nine rare bottles of Liber Pater, different kinds of glassware, travel vouchers and plenty more.
The bags even include travel and other one-of-a-kind experiences, collectively totaling nearly a million dollars in value.
Whether the
Isle of Harris whisky and the other items in the bag will translate into a publicity boost for their makers remains to be seen.
