On Tuesday, “Outlander” star Sam Heughan’s booze brand Sassenach Spirits announced the U.S. market release of its latest offering, Wild Scottish Gin.

First teased in March, Wild Scottish Gin is made with a blend of botanicals inspired by Heughan’s hometown, Galloway. With this in mind, the actor selected crabapple, rhubarb, toasted oats, heather, pine resin, bramble leaf, blueberry and juniper as his 42%-ABV gin’s key botanicals.

“Sassenach Gin is truly a celebration of Scotland, our nature, our heritage, and our wonderful flavours,” commented Heughan, per The Spirits Business. “We used botanicals that are synonymous with Scotland and some with which people may not be familiar. The result is a clean, radiant, and delicious spirit that makes for excellent cocktails to share with friends.”

Distributed by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, Sassenach Spirits Wild Scottish Gin is priced at $39.99 per 75cl bottle.

“For me, the perfect way to experience Sassenach Gin is what we call the Perfect Serve: a simple Sassenach Gin and tonic, garnished with a slice of fresh green apple,” Heughan added, according to The Spirits Business.
