Sam Heughan reveals UK release date for his Sassenach whisky

Outlander star Sam Heughan has revealed that UK fans will soon be able to get their hands on his new whisky.

A limited run of his Sassenach Whisky, which launched earlier this year after making its debut on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, sold out quickly in the US.

However, the star has revealed that a second run is on its way for the US, with the UK finally given its own release date.

Posting on his official Twitter account, Sam wrote: "Bottles are being filled with gold and labeled with love. Putting the finishing touches on the next release."

He then added that the UK will see its first release later this year in November.

The Outlander star announced in August last year that he wanted to make his own whisky, after setting up his own drinks company.

Earlier this the new whisky was awarded double gold at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

As fans of the hit TV show will know, the name of the whisky, Sassenach, is a nod to the nickname Sam’s character Jamie has given his on-screen love interest Claire (played by Caitriona Balfe).

The Galloway born actor has also used the unicorn, the national animal of Scotland, for his logo.

He’s previously described the new whisky as rich, distinct, sweet and smooth, making it as approachable and appealing as possible to a wide range of whisky fans.
