Love soccer and Scotch whiskey? Well, you’re in for a treat. Retired superstar David Beckham just signed on to back liquor giant Diageo’s upcoming release of Haig Club Single Grain Scotch Whisky, along with British music mogul and American Idol creator Simon Fuller.

Beckham and Fuller will help develop and raise awareness for the new brand.

“Working closely with Diageo, we look forward to collaborating on Haig Club, valuing and treasuring the Haig traditions while reinventing this whisky for years to come,” Beckham told The Spirits Business.

The new expression, which takes the name of one of Scotland’s oldest whisky families, will be made from a blend of whiskies of various ages that spent time in three different types of bourbon barrels. It will be bottled at 40 percent ABV and is set to launch this summer.
