However, others were simply thrilled for the actor's latest venture and congratulated him for the brand being stocked at the swanky Fife Arms bar, based in the Scottish Highlands. "That bottle is a stand out! Whisky is scrumptious as well! Congrats!" 

Sam has racked up a large following his time on Outlander but fans can also enjoy watching him on his documentary series, Men in Kilts, alongside his Outlander co-star Graham McTavish. 

The show, which recently aired its series finale, sees the pair journey across many different areas of their homeland, learning all about its "rich, complex heritage, meeting various local artisans and experts, and experiencing genuine moments of awe and fascination".
