Outlander's Sam Heughan is releasing a new 'Wild Scottish Gin' under his spirits brand, Sassenach.
Sassenach Gin, known for its distinct flavor profile, incorporates a blend of carefully selected botanicals that evoke the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The spirit captures the essence of the region with prominent notes of heather, wild Scottish apples, and pine, delivering a sense of the wilderness with every sip. Complementing these botanicals are savory undertones of toasted oats and rhubarb, providing a glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of Scotland.
"Sassenach Gin is truly a celebration of Scotland, our nature, our heritage, and our wonderful flavours. We used botanicals that are synonymous with Scotland and some with which people may not be familiar. The result is a clean, radiant, and delicious spirit that makes for excellent cocktails to share with friends," said Heughan.
