AC/DC launch limited edition whiskey line
AC/DC have launched a new limited edition whiskey with Ballantine's Scotch whiskey.
The collaboration is part of the Scottish distillers' True Music Icons range and celebrates the band's 50th anniversary.
"With AC/DC's unwavering commitment to staying true to their roots aligning with Ballantine's ethos of celebrating self-expression, it was a natural fit for the Scotch whisky to pay tribute to this iconic band in its 50th anniversary year," read a statement from the company.
The whiskey bottle design features the band's thunderbolt logo in neon red - a tribute to their 2020 album, Power Up.
Ballantine's have also named a cocktail in the band's honour, the Dark and Thunderstruck, which they described as "a twist on the classic Kentucky Mule Whisky cocktail".
AC/DC have close links to Scotland, with lead guitarist Angus Young and his late elder brother Malcolm being born in Glasgow and late singer Bon Scott in the town of Forfar.
Over the weekend, the band performed at the Power Trip festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California - home of the Coachella festival.
Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden and Metallica also appeared at the festival.
