As one of the most captivating stars on Outlander on Starz, Sam Hueghan continues to shine brightly both on-screen and off. This year, he’s not only delivered powerful performances—he’s also made waves with his philanthropic efforts, cultural celebrations, and personal milestones, solidifying his status as a true icon of our time.

A Whisky Tour for the Ages

Sam’s beloved Sassanach whisky has taken him on an international journey, captivating fans and connoisseurs alike. His extensive liquor tour saw thousands of devoted supporters lining up overnight—braving snowstorms and chilly nights—just to experience a taste of Scotland’s finest. “The support I received was beyond anything I expected,” Sam said. “Seeing fans come out in all weather, united by their love of whisky, was truly inspiring.”

Fan Moments That Melt Hearts

One of the year’s most memorable moments happened during a whiskey celebration at C2E2 in Chicago, where Sam marked his birthday with fans. The crowd went wild when he shared his cake with a lucky supporter, gently feeding her a piece. The heartfelt moment was made even more touching when Sam paused to wipe her face with a napkin, earning cheers and “awwwe” reactions from everyone around. “It’s about staying true to my roots and connecting with people,” Sam shared. “Growing up on castle grounds and being raised by a single mom taught me humility and kindness I carry to this day.”

Celebrating Heritage & Giving Back

Following the Chicago event, Sam flew back to Scotland for a surprise birthday bash, celebrating his special day in the land of his ancestors. Over the past decade, his charitable work has raised over $10 million—supporting children’s health research, feeding the homeless, and countless causes close to his heart. His Peak Performers program and My Peak Challenge have inspired thousands worldwide to give back. “Helping others is part of my DNA,” he emphasizes. “It’s what keeps me grounded and motivated.”

A Year of Honors and Musical Tours

2025 has been a banner year for Sam, filled with awards recognizing his contributions to both the spirits industry and the arts. When he hits the road for his upcoming tour, he doesn’t just perform—he brings a piece of Scotland with him. His band, composed of talented Scottish musicians, creates an authentic Highland atmosphere that transports audiences to the heart of Scotland’s rich musical heritage. Fans have been moved to tears listening to the soulful melodies, feeling as if they’re truly part of the culture.

During a recent tour stop in Miami, Sam and his band—alongside Alex—made a surprise motorcycle entrance, energizing the crowd with their daring spirit. The fans cheered wildly, capturing the essence of Sam’s authentic connection with his supporters.

As Outlander prepares for its final season on Starz, fans eagerly await the conclusion of this iconic series. Earlier this year, Sam starred in The Couple Next Door, showcasing his versatility as an actor. Looking ahead, he’s set to release a new book filled with his favorite cocktail recipes—plus, a special giveaway: one lucky reader will win a trip to Scotland, exploring the land that has inspired his craft, his life, and his legacy.

Championing Change with *My Peak Challenge*

Despite his rising fame, Sam remains humble and committed. His global initiative, My Peak Challenge, continues to empower individuals and communities, supporting the homeless and vulnerable populations worldwide. “It’s about resilience, hope, and community,” he says. “Everyone deserves a chance to reach their peak, and I’m proud to be part of that movement.”
