After selling 250 million records worldwide Sir Rod Stewart has now launched his own whisky. The 40% ABV blended spirit will initially be available online in the UK & across Europe.

Wolfie’s was inspired by the legendary musician’s early hell-raising days with the Faces.
Sir Rod 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.” And he added: “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!”
Referencing the opening track from Rod’s 1991 album Vagabond Heart, the lyrics ‘Rhythm of My Heart’ are emblazoned on the base of the bottle.
Rod’s recording of the song was a nod to his own Scottish heritage having adapted the melody from the traditional folk song, Loch Lomond.
Wolfie’s will be available to buy online for £35 from Monday 19 June.
Customers will also be in with the chance of finding one of 1,000 bottles of Wolfie’s that have been signed by Sir Rod.
