Wolfie’s Whisky, the blended Scotch from musician Rod Stewart, has officially landed on Canadian shores, and is currently available across Ontario’s LCBO outlets. To celebrate, Rod has personally signed a limited number of Wolfie’s bottles which are hidden across LCBO stores for fans to find.

Wolfie’s blended Scotch whisky is distilled in partnership with Rod Stewart, and designed to reflect Rod’s rock ‘n’ roll heritage with subtle nods to Americana. Wolfie’s was inspired by the legendary musician’s early hell raising days with the Faces, and pays tribute to his reputation as the ‘Cockney Scotsman’. Stewart comments, “Wolfie’s is a rascal of a thing – I like mine in a cocktail, others might like it straight or on the rocks. Really, it’s up to you to enjoy it your own way and let the good times roll, whatever they may bring!”

Wolfie’s is the perfect blend of grain and malt whiskies aged in American Oak Bourbon Casks. Taking inspiration from Rod’s favourite dessert, warm apple pie, Wolfie’s packs a punch with flavours of warming cinnamon, fresh vanilla, and baked apple. The whisky has a delicate taste of sweet peat and pears in syrup, before finishing with candied citrus peels and a gentle oak spice.

Having been heavily involved in the development process with his co-founder, Scottish entrepreneur and drinks industry expert Duncan Frew, Rod launched Wolfie’s in the UK and US in June 2023. Distribution has quickly expanded to more than 20 markets in the last 12 months, with the brand even launching into select global airports.

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.
