Galloway Distillery, founded by Sam Heughan and Alex Norouzi in 2025, was Sam's personal dream. Inspired by the unbreakable connection to his native land, this is a homecoming back to his roots in the bonnie lands of Galloway!
After launching the Sassenach whisky in 2021 to worldwide acclaim and a multitude of awards, the same passion was applied to their growing collection of carefully crafted spirits. A new bond and friendship were forged with the local lads behind the critically acclaimed Hills & Harbour. Together, their dedication and passion continued to inspire meticulously crafted spirits.
Sadly, Sam won't be joining us for this in-store tasting, but David Niven will guide you through the superb Sassenach Fine Scottish Vodka and Wild Scottish Gin, and perhaps give you a wee insight into what's coming next for the brand!
This is a free in-store tasting with no booking required.
