It’s no secret that Sir Rod Stewart loves a tipple.
And tomorrow night, the rocker will show that Some Guys Have All the Luck when he’s inducted into an exclusive national drink international society.
The music legend will be honoured by the Keepers of the Quaich at a formal banquet in Blair Castle in Perthshire tomorrow night to mark his contribution to Scotland and its whisky industry.
Sir Rod launched Wolfie’s Whisky, made on Loch Lomond, with businessman Duncan Frew last year.
Sir Rod, who has his own whisky brand called Wolfie’s, will rub shoulders with nobility at the event which will see him made an Honorary Keeper of the Quaich.
The 79-year-old singer joins an illustrious group of people who have been bestowed with the honour including King Charles, the late US President Ronald Reagan and Outlander author Diana Gabaldon.
The award – named after the shallow two-handled cup which whisky was traditionally drunk from – has been described as the equivalent of a knighthood in the world of whisky.

Last night, he told the Sunday Mail: “I am absolutely over the moon to receive this award – it’s an honour and a privilege which I don’t take lightly.
“Thank you to the Keepers Of The Quaich. Slàinte Mhath.”
A spokesperson for Keepers of the Quaich said: “Sir Rod is one of the greatest ambassadors for Scotland and we are honoured he has accepted our invitation to attend the banquet and to be inducted as an Honorary Keeper of the Quaich.”
