NORTH HALEDON, N.J., May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Sassenach Spirits, the spirits import company founded by Sam Heughan and his business partner, Alexander Norouzi, is excited to announce the appointment of Chrissy Beaudette Tinelli as the new general manager. In this role, Tinelli will be responsible for growing the company’s market share expansion and maximizing the distribution in the U.S. Canada and Europe, while entering new markets, and support the development of new products to the Sassenach Spirits portfolio.

She is vastly familiar with importation in both the U.S. and E.U. markets, product development, and concept to commercialization, which she is excited to bring to her new role within The Sassenach.
