Sam Heughan's Sassenach whisky praised as fans dub it 'the best' whisky they have tasted

Sam Heughan seems to have dipped into a little bit of everything recently, from writing his award-winning memoir and filming the upcoming season of Outlander to starring in a film alongside Celine Dion.

Yet, it doesn't stop there, the 42-year-old even launched his own blended whisky inspired by the Scottish Highland landscape in 2020.

And since its release, the liquor, which he sells for £79.95 a bottle, has been inundated with five-star reviews, also bagging a Gold at the 2022 International Spirits Challenge.

Fans of the booze rushed to review the blended Scotch whisky, with one even dubbing it the best they had tried.

One review on the Master of Malt website read: "The best whiskey I have ever had. So smooth dont like the sharp burning ones. Amazing drink! Have to admit only bought it because am familiar with the actor Sam Heaughan loved the very funny men in kilts! But would highly recommend the whiskey if you like strong sweet and smooth."

Another said: "Delightful and a beautiful way to end each evening. We love it and have ordered it a few times to keep the bar stocked. Congratulations. Well deserved."

A third added: "My third bottle. Such a fantastic product from the design of the bottle and packaging to the whisky itself. Already won so many awards. 5 star!"

Another wrote: "I love this Whiskey and enjoy a dram most evenings. My only problem is getting it. I live in Spain and currently I have to time my order for when I am visiting family in the UK. Often it is not in stock when I go. So I have to drink sparingly so I don't run out"

However, not everyone was convinced, with one sceptical whisky lover writing: "There seem to be a lot of "women of a certain age", who have never touched whisky before, buying this. Hmmmmm I wonder why??? Expensive for a blend. Will spend my cash on a decent single malt and not let my hormones drive my whisky purchasing."
