Where To Buy ‘Outlander’ Star Sam Heughan’s Sassenach Whisky
Sam Heughan’s latest venture isn’t on screen. The Scottish actor, who got his big break on Starz’s “Outlander,” has launched his own whisky, and some fans can get their hands on it starting Monday.
Unfortunately, The Sassenach Whisky isn’t available everywhere just yet. However, Heughan fans in five states can get the scotch whisky now. Residents with addresses in California, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Texas can buy their own bottles. With the exception of New Jersey, that list includes four of the most populated states in the country, so several “Outlander” fans should be able to get a taste. (The Sassenach Whisky's availability is expected to expand across the U.S. and Europe sometime in the future.)
The Sassenach Whisky is available from the Reserve Bar website and costs $99 per bottle. Free shipping from Reserve Bar starts at $150 with the code SHIP150 for a limited time. The website warns that Sassenach Whisky won’t start shipping until March 23. That will still give fans plenty of time to try a dram before the “Outlander” Season 5 finale on May 3.
A member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, Heughan previously told the organization that the cast loves drinking together. “Everyone on set is a fan of whisky and at the end of some long night shoots a few can be found sharing a dram before bed. Our showrunner Ron Moore is a great fan and I’ve managed to damage his collection a bit. My co-star Caitriona [Balfe] is Irish and there’s always a good bit of banter,” he told the organization.
According to Reserve Bar, The Sassenach Whisky was inspired by the Scottish Highlands and is matured in Madeira wine casks. The spirit includes notes of peach, apricot, honey, and butterscotch. Drinkers will get scents of citrus fruits, almonds, and vanilla.
The release of Heughan’s whisky comes at the beginning of a busy year. “Outlander” Season 5 just started last month, and his movie “Bloodshot” will hit theaters on March 13. That’s just the beginning of the actor’s busy 2020 schedule.
