Outlander fans have something new to toast. Actor Sam Heughan, who stars as Jamie Fraser in the popular time-travel drama, just launched a whisky brand called "The Sassenach."

"We are excited to announce that The Sassenach Whisky will be available to order in select states in the US on March 2nd! We are counting the days," reads a recent Instagram post from the brand, which also sends people to sassenachspirits.com for more information.

Per the website, the blend is now available to order in California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Texas, with more states coming soon.

The whisky is part of Heughan's new business, Great Glen Company, and in an interview with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society published last year, he spoke of his dream to create his own spirit.

"I set up the Great Glen Company to produce products that I believe in, using my heritage and passion as inspiration," he said. "We are currently working on my brand of whisky with our first announcement soon. First stop is obviously the lifelong dream of having my own dram."

Heughan's foray into the beverage space has been in the works for several months now, and he has been sharing a behind-the-scenes look at whole the process on social media. He first announces his new venture back in August when he posted a logo on his Instagram account.

The caption teased that the blend was already distilling: "Unique. @sassenachspirits Distilling now in Scotland... Drop by drop."

In his stories, he also added "Can't wait for you to try this...!"

In May, he teased the first photoshoot for the brand on social media.

And in June, he posted a photo of several whiskies on his Instagram account, writing, "When setting out on an adventure, the journey always comes to an end. The perfect Whisky blend is almost there...!"

Heughan has been keeping quite busy lately.

In addition to working on Sassenach whisky, he's launching a podcast-turned-TV series with actor Graham McTavish called Clan Lands, which will focus on the history, culture, and landscape of Scotland.

Of course, he has also been filming season five of Outlander, which premiered in February. Watch a sneak peek of what's to come there, below:
