“Learning about the process of creating The Sassenach Whisky and hearing stories of Scotland has been an inspirational experience for me. Scottish and Mexican cultures have many similarities - both have great pride in their countries, deep-rooted histories, and of course, a great passion for producing their national spirits! The process of creating this blend first began with us enjoying The Sassenach whisky and using that experience ad the foundation to create a unique blend that encompasses the passion and heritage of our collaboration. I hope you enjoy our creation!”
