Rod Stewart’s Wolfie’s Blended Scotch Whisky Launches In America

Rod Stewart has had an “infatuation” before, but now it has to do with Scotch whiskey.

The long-time rocker has launched Wolfie’s Blended Scotch Whiskey in the U.S., in conjunction with his 2023 North American tour. Already on the market in Europe and the U.K, it is inspired by the legendary musician’s early hell-raising days. Stewart’s tour started the first of August.

“Wolfie’s has been a triumph across the UK and Europe and following the path of my early career, our goal is to take Wolfie’s across the pond and introduce this fine tipple to my fans in the US,” Sir Rod said. “Fine tuned, it’s perfect over ice or mixed into a favorite cocktail. I’m looking forward to taking Wolfie’s on tour across the States this summer. Come join me and let’s share a drink.”

It is a 40% ABV blended Scotch which marries grain whisky and malt whiskies, resulting in a lightly peated, smooth final blend. Wonderfully balanced with flavors of warming cinnamon, fresh vanilla, and baked apple, it has delicate notes of sweet peat and pears in syrup before finishing with candied citrus peels and a gentle oak spice.

Handcrafted in small batches using a three-step process of preparation, distillation, and maturation, Wolfie’s is distilled from malted barley, used to produce malt whisky; and unmalted cereals (wheat for Wolfie’s), used to produce the grain whisky. Each undergoes separate, age-old processes to finely turn the sugars into alcohol – adding bold and unique flavors along the way. After fermentation – for single malt scotch whisky – the wash is distilled twice in large copper stills.

This adds a distinct boldness and intensifies the flavors. For Grain whisky, distillation takes place in continuous column stills, made of stainless steel with copper elements. The coopers select the finest American oak bourbon casks to age the liquid slowly, allowing all the flavors to mature. Before filling, the coopers char each cask to release wood compounds which impart flavor and color to the maturing spirit.

The MSRP is $44.99.
