The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin is distilled using various locally foraged botanicals from the Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland, the area where Sam was born and grew up. Sam worked with Craig Rankin at Crafty Distillery to create a Scottish Gin that captured the local wild larder. Featuring Scottish juniper, rhubarb, heather, Scots Pine resin, bramble leaf, blaeberry, crab apple and toasted oats, the result is a fresh London Dry style gin with layers of balanced, fresh flavours and a luxurious, creamy, soft mouthfeel.

Known for his role as Jamie Fraser in the hit tv show ‘Outlander’, Sassenach Spirits takes its name from a phrase used throughout the show; 'Sassenach', which means outsider or foreigner in Scots Gaelic.
Born and bread in Dumfries and Galloway, Sam is a passionate advocate for Scottish culture, including food and drink, and with his Sassenach Spirits brand has sought out creative collaborations and quality spirits including a blended whisky and tequila, with Sam playing a role in the development of each spirit released. 2023 saw the release of Sam’s The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin, a new Scottish Gin created in collaboration with local distillery, Crafty Distillery.
Production
The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin was crafted by Sam Heughan and Distiller Craig Rankin at the Crafty Distillery in Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway. Craig worked with Sam to create a Scottish Gin that reflected the local area's botanical garden along with a number of botanicals that reminded Sam of growing up in the area. Crab apples and rhubarb were in abundance where Sam grew up, with many summers spent picking crab apples for home made crab apple jelly and rhubarb that was used to make delicious rhubarb crumbles. Summers were also spent walking through heather covered hillsides with friends and family, spotting Red Deer and Golden Eagles before stopping for a picnic with glorious views over the Dumfries and Galloway landscape.
