Sam Heughan has toasted to Burns Night with a glass of his own whisky.

The Outlander actor took to Instagram to wish his fans a happy Burns Night and of course he couldn't mark the occasion without a wee dram of his own brand Sassenach.

Reciting no other than Rabbie Burns himself, Sam treated fans to a very Scottish version of ' Scotch Drink'.

Raising a glass, Sam smiled for the camera and said: "Happy Burns Night everyone! Hope you're having a wee dram of Sassenach, wherever you are in the world, wishing you all a very bonnie Burns Night! Slainte!"

And fans were loving the video and sent their best from different corners of the world on Burns Nights.

One wrote: "Sláinte Sam! This accent is music to my ears."

Another commented: "Slàinte Mhath from Canada!"

Another said: "Happy #burnsday cheers from Oz."

While one wrote: "Celebrating with a Sassenach hot toddy!"

Sam released his whisky back in 2020 but at the end of last year, he announced that he will be branching out and creating a brand of tequila.

The Scots actor has teamed up with El Tequileño Master Distiller Antonio 'Tony' Salles to create a new limited edition 'Sassenach Select' tequila.

On Twitter he said: "Sam wrote: "It's Here! So thrilled and so excited to introduce our latest Sassenach Spirits baby!

"In our journey to identify unique spirits from around the globe, a couple of years ago, I met and became friends with the brilliantly talented and 3rd generation master distiller Tony Salles and the El Tequileño team."

"We were welcomed into their family and community, discovering we shared a passion that runs deep. We talked, laughed and explored the Mexican landscape, despite being from different continents, we agreed on the same vision of craftsmanship and quality."
