Scottish rock band Del Amitri has launched a new limited edition single malt whisky.
The whisky, in collaboration with The Glasgow Distillery Co. and local artist Nänni-pää, is part of Caskade Drinks' artist series.
It is inspired by Glasgow's creative and cultural diversity, and the band's legacy.
Distilled at The Glasgow Distillery, the whisky has a 'unique character and refreshing flavour profile', having been drawn from two ex-ruby port casks.
There are only 522 bottles available, with a 54.2 per cent ABV.
Del Amitri said: "After a year of tasting whiskies and sharing ideas with Caskade Drinks and artist Nänni-pää, we are excited to share our first whisky.
"The casks we secured from The Glasgow Distillery exceeded all our expectations and we are looking forward to ringing in 2025 with a glass of this."
Each bottle comes with illustrations by Glasgow artist Nänni-pää, each referencing a lyric or song from Del Amitri's back catalogue.
