Rod Stewart is launching a blended Scotch whisky brand

Sir Rod Stewart is taking his career in a brand new direction with the launch of a blended Scotch whisky brand.

The 78-year-old rock star has created a line of distilled spirit in partnership with the newly-launched brand Wolfie’s which he believes depicts the “carefree behaviour” of his earlier life and wants to “let the good times roll” with the tipple.

He said: “Wolfie’s is a rascal of a thing and with just a sip the whisky takes you back to the good old days. Fine-tuned and perfectly balanced, Wolfie’s is a delight both over ice and mixed into a favourite cocktail.

“It’s a fine tipple, whether you’re partying with friends, celebrating a Celtic win or reminiscing with family. For me, Wolfie’s depicts the carefree behaviour of my more mischievous days and the excitement of what life still has to offer – let the good times roll.”

Fans of the rockstar also be in with the chance of finding one of 1000 bottles of Wolfie’s that have been signed by Rod.
