Other Wines/Drinks

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky, Scotland, United Kingdom, Scotland: A luxurious and well-balanced blend offering aromas of honeyed apricot, vanilla, and orange zest, layered with hints of butterscotch, spice, and toasted oak. It’s full-bodied and smooth on the palate, with rich flavours of caramel, dried fruit, and a touch of heather smoke leading to a long, warming finish. At 46% alcohol, it delivers both power and elegance in perfect measure. Serve it neat or over a single ice cube to appreciate its depth and silky texture. Fascinating fact: Created by actor Sam Heughan, best known for his role in Outlander, The Sassenach has won multiple gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition—proof that it’s more than just a celebrity dram. This whisky will keep beautifully for years, though most bottles tend to vanish far sooner. Blended Scotch Whisky food pairings: dark chocolate truffles, where its caramel and spice melt seamlessly with the cocoa richness. Or enjoy it alongside a slice of apple tart, where its honeyed notes complement the fruit’s natural sweetness.. 39747 46% 750 mL $147.95 Score: 97/100. November 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
