The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin, created by actor Sam Heughan, captures the essence of Scotland’s untamed landscapes. Distilled with wild-foraged botanicals from Dumfries and Galloway — including juniper, rhubarb, heather, pine resin, blaeberry, crabapple and toasted oats — it balances crisp fruit with herbal and floral depth. Fresh, vibrant, and authentically Scottish, this award-winning gin embodies craft, heritage, and wild natural beauty.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Clean and fresh on the nose with bright apple, berry, and juniper notes. The palate reveals layers of rhubarb, toasted oats, pine, and floral heather, creating both vibrancy and depth. The finish is long, dry, and refreshing, with a touch of savoury complexity that lingers.
