Character Goatson

A new, premium blended Scotch from Sam Heughan of "The Outlander."

Sam Heughan has burst on the scene due to his starring role as romantic lead "Jamie" in the TV series "Outlander." He has taken his success and lived the dream of founding a new company — the Great Glen Company. And though the details are sparse, The Great GlenCompany has released its first product — a line of Whisky called The Sassenach.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky is a just released, limited edition blend of Scottish Spirits "inspired by the highland landscape." There is no age-statement — and the distilleries contributing are kept secret. But the flavor profile displays the light fruit character normally found in Highland malts and Speysiders, so we strongly suspect they make up a good portion of the blend which is gorgeously bottled at 45% ABV.

Smartass corner:
"The Sassenach" is the character Jamie’s nickname for his paramour Clair in the "Outlander" TV series. It roughly translates as "foreigner" or "outsider."

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
