TV legend Richard Hammond is in a career update amid multiple court cases.
The former Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter, who was in Oxfordshire earlier this month, is set to go to Malta to officially launch Hammond’s Spirits in the country.
He is heading there this weekend (Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, October 4) for the Mdina Grand Prix – according to Love Malta – with fans to have the chance to meet the iconic presenter.
There he will display his selection of gin, whisky and rum, which all comes under his Hammond’s Spirits umbrella with the Iron Ridge English Single Malt Whisky particularly noteworthy having recently been crowned the Country Winner – Best English Single Malt Whisky’ at the 2026 World Whiskies Awards.
This latest update comes after a turbulent period for Mr Hammond.

In recent weeks, the television presenter has been involved in two separate court-related incidents, including a legal dispute connected to his motoring venture, The Smallest Cog.
The company, based in Hereford, admitted failing to provide information that could identify the driver of a Ford vehicle linked to an alleged offence.
As a result of the guilty plea at Worcester Court, the court imposed a fine on the business along with a victim surcharge.
In August, it emerged that Mr Hammond was fined £999 for speeding offences at the end of 2025, around the same time he took control of the firm.
The TV star was at the wheel of a Porsche when he broke the speed limit on December 2 last year before he was caught out again just 20 days later while driving a Bentley.
West Mercia Police brought two prosecutions against Mr Hammond, putting forward the speed camera images of him driving the cars in Herefordshire to prove the offences.
