What I'm doing wrong when scraping a productimage with Python / Beautyfulsoup?

Question

I’m trying to learn howto scrape with python. Therefore I’m using the python code on this site: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/scraping-ecommerce-website-with-python/

This all works just fine but I also want to scrape the product image from this page
https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/29388/hibiki-harmony

The code is the following:

<div class="product-main__image-container">
<img src="https://img.thewhiskyexchange.com/900/japan_hib11.jpg" alt="Hibiki Harmony" class="product-main__image" width="3" height="4" />
</div>

My question is: how can I scrape this image with Python and Beautysolsoup.
I tried different things but none of them are working.
Hereby my not working code:

try:
    image = hun.find("img", {"class": "product-main__image"}).text.replace('n', "")
except:
    image = None

If you want to scrape the image url then it’s possible with bs4 easily and only then you can try the next example.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/29388/hibiki-harmony'
soup=BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, "html.parser")
image_url = soup.find("img", {"class": "product-main__image"}).get('src')
print(image_url)

Output:

https://img.thewhiskyexchange.com/900/japan_hib11.jpg
