The Great Escape (1963) / Glenmorangie Lasanta


In 1963, director John Sturges and a star-studded cast gave the world one of the all-time great escape films, The Great Escape. In 2025, Bob and Brad revisit it for Season 10 of the Film & Whisky Podcast. Alongside the film, they continue their march through Glenmorangie’s core lineup with a pour of the Lasanta, a 12-year-old Highland single malt finished in sherry casks.
This episode is part of the Season 1 Re-Review series, where Bob and Brad return to the films and whiskies that kicked off the podcast nearly seven years ago. With more experience (and better microphones), they revisit old favorites to see how their thoughts have evolved.
