“I always wanted to go into businesses where I had fun and experience new things. This is definitely one of those things‚” Beckham said.
Even with this brand partnership‚ he is still a footballer at heart and said he will always be a loyal Manchester United fan.
He’s credited the lessons he learnt on the football field as the keys he used to establish a successful business off the field.
“We try to be disruptive in this world and obviously in others. We talk about breaking the rules and this is a subtle way of doing it in the whisky world‚” Beckham said.
