Sam Heughan has announced the launch of his new distillery in his Scottish hometown!
Galloway Distillery was co-founded by Sam and his business partner Alex Norouzi and it will be the home of their award-winning Sassenach Spirits label.
“Galloway is an inspirational place. It has unique heritage, folklore, landscapes, and people. Very accessible yet remains an undiscovered and ancient land. I created the Galloway Distillery to return to my roots and give back to the land where I was born. My purpose is to shine a light on this unsung corner of Scotland, that has so much to offer,” Sam said in a statement.
“This represents a true homecoming and new chapter, in the pursuit of fine Scottish spirits from this undiscovered and exceptional land, in the south of Scotland,” he added.
The distillery is currently open to visitors and will undergo further development over the next year to create a world-class visitor experience.
Currently the portfolio consists of The Sassenach, Blended Scotch Whisky and The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin, launched in 2021 and 2023 respectively. The Galloway Distillery will celebrate its first release with The Sassenach Finest Scottish Vodka, scheduled for November 2025.
