That was the best Sam Heughan interview I've ever watched (and I've watched them all). To see him so laid back and actually enjoying the interview was a real treat. Could he BE any more charming? Kristopher Hart is an excellent host.
This is a feature of most Taurus people, men and women. Every Taurus man I've ever known has a very low voice. Then I read about it in a horoscope book. Cool. I am a Taurus gal and my own voice is rather low.
What a great interview! I know NOTHING about whiskey, but have seen lots of interviews with Sam about Outlander. It was so great to hear him converse about something where he didn’t have to worry about spoilers and answer silly questions about his personal life. It seemed to be the most natural interview I’ve ever seen him do. You can tell this is a passion for him - and the interviewer was great! Not fawning on the popularity of Sam, but just talking to him like another guy with a common love. Well done!
The smart Celebs have their hand in the Liquor business and there are a few so he is not the only one but naming it SASSENACH ...NOW THAT SHIT IS LEGENDARY AND BADASS with the HUGE Fan base that he has he should make a killing. I don't even drink Whiskey but I want to try it just because SAM put it out.....LOL
@@virgoqueen8950 I agree with you about wanting to try The Sassenach. I am not a drinker apart from a mug of Christmas Glug, but I have already been into the local liquor store and asked about The Sassenach (sadly, it isn't yet available in my state).
Best 34 minutes of my life. Damn if Sam isn’t THE MOST genuinely amazing human being ... EVER! Such a wealth of knowledge and truly a FANTASTIC conversation.
My father was born in 1920 in Aberdeen, Scotland. His family moved to America when he was 4. His cousin who lived in Sherwood Forest, England would come visit my dad once every 10 years. I remember my Dad was so excited this one time he visited because he brought my Dad a gift. It was Ian MacLeod’s ‘As We Get It’, Scotch Whisky. It is 119 proof! No two bottles are the same because they don’t filter the Whisky, it comes straight from the Cask. My Dad and his cousin were both so excited about drinking the Whisky. My Dad was going through Chemo therapy and was on a strict diet and probably was not supposed to have alcohol. But he could not resist, he had several shots and enjoyed the Whisky throughly and reminiscing with his cousin. I discovered Outlander in 2020 and binged watch all five seasons in one month. Unbelievable acting by Caitriona and Sam!
Thanks Kristopher … Hearing it was great but being able to see the facial expressions as you sampled the whiskys. And to see Sam's face when you offered him the Bourbon … I thought he might pass out .. priceless..Sláinte'..
I keep watching this...definitely makes me want to try a few of these whiskys. And the way Sam describes "sitting in a cottage on the coast and the smoke coming down the chimney" - quite poetic
It was so fun to see this laid back interview. I feel like it was totally the interview that was needed after a crazy con day. Cannot wait to try "The Sassenach"! Slàinte Mhath!!
Going to purchase Sassenach Whiskey right off the plane at duty free..Sam is a true connoisseur...for his whiskey line to have become one of the best...per the interviews on his whiskey line...smart, and cool...love this man; he is so Not one dimensional... "Smashing". Good interview
It was so nice to watch this interview where it is not about Jamie or him being a sex symbol or about upcoming onscreen projects but just two men sitting down having a chat about Whiskey. Enlightening too. Thanks!
Loved seeing Sam feeling at ease and content. I am a whisky lover, and there was so much information, I'll just have to watch this again (grin) This was Sam's best interview, ever.
Great interview, very interesting getting to know some of the whole culture around the whiskey. Sam is a wonderful ambassador of Scotland, he always shows himself so proud of his origin place that makes people want to visit it and get to know more about that beautiful place. Sam proves to be a great person, that's what I admire most about him, just a few famous people have that, I mean many could be talented, but those who shows their human quality are definitely fewer.
Looking back on this great interview, prior to the pandemic, seems so simple and fun. Boy how things have changed since then. So glad that Sam had a chance to sit down and enjoy a chat about one of his favorite things.
Sam! I really hope you won't forget us in South Africa. Most English speaking folk here have ancestors from Scotland, England or Wales. My great great great grandfather, Captain Simon Amm brought settlers over in 1820. He bought his ship, The Canada, from...wait for it....J Frazier in Scotland. Anyway....the point is that whiskey is our drink! Please make sure we have a couple of bottles released here!
Love Sam. I liked hearing him talk something other than Outlander. I LOVE Outlander, but it's just nice sometimes to hear from them about other things. (:
I went crazy over watching Sam open that box he had that “gift “ from Chris for awhile and waited to open it I could see the effort of Sam trying to control his excitement Lol!!! He started out gently undoing the wrapping then just tore it open packaging flying everywhere when he said “looks like a dog got into it” I started laughing so hard cuz Sam has a dog, a Lab and they get excited over packages like their master Sam always making me laugh😂😂😂😂😂 he is so real and natural fantastic video hats off to Chris!!!Thank u Chris!!
This interview with Chris Hart and Sam is different from the one I’ve seen before where Sam is opening a package received from Chris in the mail and Sam had waited until he had his interview with Chris Hart to open it!! I know I’ll enjoy this one too👍👍👍🥰
@@kathyb7425 I’ve looked online and it’s $400-$500 a bottle. He said it was a limited release that’s probably why. If you find it less expensive please let me know.
I agree watched it last night very educational between Sam and the other guy I love watching Sam anyway I believe he was educated on whiskey like the rest of us😋 Today I watched Robert Roy Mcgregor starring Liam Neilson it is so sad I kept crying at how the Highlanders were treated but I love movies that with “and they lived happily ever after!” I learn that Scotsmen truly love their wife and honor them abd the children also and Scots pride themselves in being good lovers with their wives full of passion ♥️♥️♥️♥️ it was a good movie but Outlander still rates the highest wish I could watch more Scottish movies the music is fantastic but so sad😪😪😪
This interview is amazing!! I have never done whiskey/whisky but now...NOW!! I can't wait to grow my experience and palette . Can't wait to try the Sassenach!!!!
This interview started me on my road to scotch drinking. I started with The Glenlevit 12 which was recommended for new scotch drinkers...and quite nice. I'm now trying Glenfiddich which has very nice notes also....maybe a little better. Scotch demands that you pay attention to it and that's what I like about it. I like EVERYTHING about Sam.
Best interview ever Sam is just great just being Sam, very interesting man, not too hard to look at either, then there is the voice oh my l need a wee dram myself gotta go get some sassi !!!! Bring him back Kris thank you
Sam has a rare and unique talent for Captivating, and Keeping, an whole Audience in the palm of his hand’s, That in it self is Amazing, but to do that to an whole Nation of people is beyond Amazing, He has inspired people of all ‘Generations’ Including me! I am not a Star Struck Teenager, I am a Star Struck Mother, Who Admires him as a Phenomenal Actor, with Special Social Skills in Abundance, (I must admit though, I adore him as Jamie, can’t help it)! I am enjoying this Interview with Sam and Kristopher, How Sam managed to keep his cool 😎 after all those shot’s is beyond me, A ‘True’ whisky Man, I know, my Husband was one, I am any bodies after just one drink! Wonderful to see Sam relaxed and enjoying himself, Thank You 🙏 for Sharing, Cheers 🥂 from a true Sassenach.
@@claudettedesilva1776 Gosh this is a blast from the past! this edit should have been labelled ‘Whisky Galore’ our Sam does love his whisky, he has a lot to answer for the first time I tried his ‘Sassenach’ was Christmas Eve 2020. watching two gorgeous ‘Men in Kilts’ Sam & Graham, they were sitting whisky in hand by a roaring log fire, after my second ‘small’ dram of ‘Sassenach I was as high as a kite, floating somewhere on the ceiling, I was now watching four gorgeous Scottish Highlanders still sipping their whisky, the moral of this story is, take more water with it! 😉🥴😊 Cheers 🥃 from the Sassenach in the U.K.
Aye aye @KristopherHart As a whisky loving Scottish Highlander I really enjoyed your interview with the legend that is Sam Heughan. Like Sam (and many other 'migratory' Scots, before and since) I spent a large chunk of my 20s living, studying and working in London. That was the early 70s and I'd not had much experience of whisky when I left my Aberdeenshire home aged 18! This was despite the fact that the farm I lived on shared a boundary with the Oldmeldrum Distillery, which is now The Glen Garioch (pronounced Glen Geerie) and uses the water supply from our farm - The Silent Spring of Coutens!! I digress. I also became the token Scot in my Londoner friend group and whenever we went to the pub I would order a malt - straight, completely unadulterated (nowadays I might add 3 drops of uisge to my uisge-beatha). This was initially for bravado and a sense of otherness, being a Scot surrounded by Sassenachs who for the most part had never been north of Watford Gap. (Its just outside North London!) The bravado turned to a genuine appreciation of the wonders of Scottish Single Malts. How lucky am I to be able to browse supermarket shelves and see so many options in front of me? You are clearly an aficionado and have loved spending time in Scotland as well. I couldn't help noticing that you haven't mastered the voiceless velar fricative of our language (the guttural ch sound like clearing the back of your throat when a midgie flies in!). It would make your presentation so much more authentic.... Sam could help you with that - In Scots his name is Heu-ch-an, not Heu-an. I think he says it that way to humour the American audience! BTW Bruichladdich is not pronounced "Brook - Laddie" Its from the Gàidhlig ... Bruthach a' Chladaich Check out this sound clip which gives the pronunciation of the original Gàidhlig place name... Go on. Give it a go. You'll really impress the Scots natives. Maybe check out Scottish Gaelic on Duolingo while you're at it!! learngaelic.scot/dictionary/index.jsp?abairt=Bruichladdich%20&slang=both&wholeword=false
I was probably #800 of the 1000 people Sam took a photo with! Omg 😳 it was worth it (traveled from Oregon). I felt for Sam he was there sooooo long and had to be completely exhausted. I had hoped he would get some time off afterwards! This interview with whisky tasting was just what he needed! Thank you so much Sam! You are the best!!
Evidently it really WAS just what he needed, cause he didn't want to leave!! Seriously though, I think this was the best interview I've ever seen Sam do. He wasn't answering the same questions that all interviewers seem to ask him over & over or having to put up with that same lame joke about what Scotsmen wear under their kilts. He was enjoying a relaxing & engaging conversation about something he's passionate about with another passionate whisky connoisseur. Great job Kristopher!!
I've watched many an interview and I have to agree this one is special with you Kristopher. Sam is relaxed, comfortable, & seems to be in his element. All signs of a great host. Hope you do another with Sam in the near future. Did you get your bottle of 'The Sassenach' yet?
I had no idea that two of my favorite spirits, Sam Heughan and Scotch Whisky, were so closely linked; It's Hogmanay all over again! Thank you Kristopher and Sam for making this extra-special episode. Kristopher, I found your show by looking through Sam's interviews - I'm so glad I found you! I now get to savor a back-catalog of your whisky wisdom...Can't wait to try The Sassenach (if ever I can get my hands on some :) Cheers!
Kristopher! This was a such a fantastic podcast/video interview! I had a smile on my face for 34 minutes! You are so knowledgeable and I'll be on the look out for some of the whisky's, bourbons you mentioned. Balcones!
I enjoyed the laid back scene and could listen 👂 to Sam’s accent any day , it’s a great voice....I think 💭 he won’t be happy till he tastes them all....👏😜💕he..he..Sam whisky 🥃 has preserved you, as you aged....like making fine whisky 😁😘👌🥃🥃
Great interview! I love a good whiskey and now I know how to actually pronounce Lagavulin and am understanding much more of the specifics. Can't wait to try the Sassenach. Just one other thing, please, please do an armagnac. In 1985 I was traveling in Europe with my husband, and we were looking for an old, unknown to tourist guides place to buy an exception bottle of brandy to take along. We stumbled onto a dusty store, with a 1944 Chateau Le Tour in the window. An ancient little frenchman who looked like Yoda with a beret came out, and he and my husband (who had run the wine cellar at a four start restaurant in NYV) got into an hour discussion of wines, brandies. We walked out with a 1961 armagnac. Outstanding.
So glad I watched this interview. I agree that it was great seeing Sam so relaxed. It was nice to finally hear him talk a little more about Sassenach Spirits and share his passion for whisky. I have had limited experience with whisky, but as an Outlander fan, I feel inspired to change that. You are obviously very knowledgeable on the subject (and share Sam's passion for it), so I have subscribed to your channel in hopes of learning more. I am also from the Houston area, so suggestions on an easily accessible, "newbie" whisky would be appreciated.
I no longer partake of alcoholic beverages, but, I would LOVE to taste some “Sassenach Spirits”. Wonder if we will get it in Australia? Well done Sam. You are a remarkable human being, as well as a brilliant actor. May your star shine brightly forever.❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳
Natalieba I hope so not that I’m much of a whisky drinker the only ones I’ve tasted are tullamore dew and Jameson’s which are Irish whiskeys yes it’s spelt that way for Irish brands it’s how you tell the difference between it and scotch that and the fact Irish whiskey is triple distilled .
I feel like I've learned so much and wanted the interview to keep going! I'm such a history nerd.🤓 Definitely going to share this with my hubby. Great discussion and interview.👍
Sam looks a little like my brother and we decend from Scotland. I wonder......could we be related. I hope not because I can't get past my Jaime crush. Ha! In all seriousness Sam is a wonderful actor and I love Scotish Whiskey.
I had a relaxin Time for 34 Minutes.. with this Interview and Laphroaig. Thanks for the good Question / Just Talking about Whisky... This is not usual.
The Bushmills distillery is actually my first experience with whisky. I was travelling through Ireland and decided to visit the distillery where I tasted it for the first time. Been loving it ever since!
Very clever Mister!! You get the single ones wanting to try whisky and the married ones buying it for their men...good on ya to affiliate yerself with Loch Lomond Distillery. Should help them as well, they are not exactly known for fantastic whiskys BUT they make their own malts and grains, good for blending your own. Well, I wish you every success, and to you people out there who can't get their paws at a bottle of Sam's whisky, I recommend the Loch Lomond Signature...also a blend, very easy to drink and not too dear to buy.
That was the best Sam Heughan interview I've ever watched (and I've watched them all). To see him so laid back and actually enjoying the interview was a real treat. Could he BE any more charming? Kristopher Hart is an excellent host.
I agree!
agree - he is in his element
I can't think of one actor that would have 1000 fans wait for a ten-second photo with him or her. He is humble, giving, and personable. Thank you Sam
He has the most magical voice!
This is a feature of most Taurus people, men and women. Every Taurus man I've ever known has a very low voice. Then I read about it in a horoscope book. Cool. I am a Taurus gal and my own voice is rather low.
Magical everything...

Laura Levesque Best interview yet
Scotland WHISKY Ireland WHISKEY
I agree with you. Sam was relaxed and excited talking and tasting whiskey.
Sam is the sexiest man alive and now that I see him relaxed and actually enjoying the conversation I love him even more. Best Telly husband ever!
Most male celebrities put out colognes. Sam Heughan puts out a whisky. The man is a legend.
The smart Celebs have their hand in the Liquor business and there are a few so he is not the only one but naming it SASSENACH ...NOW THAT SHIT IS LEGENDARY AND BADASS with the HUGE Fan base that he has he should make a killing.

@@marianalmgren4348 Online, it’s $400-$500 a bottle. Can you find a better price?
@@oopurpledove No, I haven't even FOUND Sassenach in stock in stores anywhere near me, let alone shopping around for the best price.
@@marianalmgren4348 what I quoted was what I found online. Have you looked online?
Best 34 minutes of my life. Damn if Sam isn’t THE MOST genuinely amazing human being ... EVER! Such a wealth of knowledge and truly a FANTASTIC conversation.
This the BEST of Sam: he is real and natural, and loves not being Jamie.
Sam is the greatest interview. His whiskey is the best ever. Love. Love, love it. Nothing fake about him. He's the real thing.❤LA😅
I always learn so much watching your interviews. This was a pleasure to see Sam so relaxed and really enjoying himself. Thanks!
Thank you!
shawnda geisel it was really nice listening to him promote his whiskey business instead of the show! It shows a whole new side to him!
LOVE the sound of his voice... sort of whiskey-drenched, deep.
My father was born in 1920 in Aberdeen, Scotland. His family moved to America when he was 4. His cousin who lived in Sherwood Forest, England would come visit my dad once every 10 years. I remember my Dad was so excited this one time he visited because he brought my Dad a gift. It was Ian MacLeod’s ‘As We Get It’, Scotch Whisky. It is 119 proof! No two bottles are the same because they don’t filter the Whisky, it comes straight from the Cask. My Dad and his cousin were both so excited about drinking the Whisky. My Dad was going through Chemo therapy and was on a strict diet and probably was not supposed to have alcohol. But he could not resist, he had several shots and enjoyed the Whisky throughly and reminiscing with his cousin. I discovered Outlander in 2020 and binged watch all five seasons in one month. Unbelievable acting by Caitriona and Sam!
I loved this interview. Sam had had a very looong day and this was the first he had time to relax. The host was amazing!
This is the sexiest I’ve ever heard his voice. So Smokey and raspy! I’m sure it was due to his long day and being tired but OMG that voice!!!
Thanks Kristopher … Hearing it was great but being able to see the facial expressions as you sampled the whiskys. And to see Sam's face when you offered him the Bourbon … I thought he might pass out .. priceless..Sláinte'..
❤
❤
It’s so adorable how he truly did not want to leave this interview haha
I keep watching this...definitely makes me want to try a few of these whiskys. And the way Sam describes "sitting in a cottage on the coast and the smoke coming down the chimney" - quite poetic
It was so fun to see this laid back interview. I feel like it was totally the interview that was needed after a crazy con day.
Cannot wait to try "The Sassenach"!
Slàinte Mhath!!
Sam has the most relaxing voice. :D haha
Amanda Levine He’s so natural and truly must be a fun guy!
His voice sounds a bit rough here. Maybe from a lot of talking since he’s been in NOLA, interviewed and questioned by everyone!
Cheryl Hensley I did hear he had a bit of a head cold recently could have started here .
What a wonderful interview
Going to purchase Sassenach Whiskey right off the plane at duty free..Sam is a true connoisseur...for his whiskey line to have become one of the best...per the interviews on his whiskey line...smart, and cool...love this man; he is so Not one dimensional...
"Smashing".
Good interview
Drinking whisky like lemonade and still keeping his smarts...Sam you rock🥂

Very informative and interesting!!
Sam seems so comfortable in this interview. Good job to the interviewer. We just watched a long friendsh form.
Loved Sams reaction when he tasted the Balcones. Go Texas!
Loved this interview! Sam knows his stuff! Wow! ❤
Sam! I really hope you won't forget us in South Africa. Most English speaking folk here have ancestors from Scotland, England or Wales.

From a journalist and a wine lover's point of view: very good conversation!

Never seen Sam this happy doing an interview
Oh my gosh! Man. I love a good bourbon! That is an amazing find!
Dude knows his Scotch! Can't wait to give his Sassenach Spirits a taste.
CammysComicCorner hope it comes to Australia so I can taste it .
What a delight. Love that man like crazy, seems like the nicest.

Chris Hart and Sam fantastic Hope the two make another video 🙏♥️♥️
the second he tells Sam he can have some whiskey his accent gets 100x more Scottish
Great interview! You've earned the respect of loyal Sam fans and probably tons of subscribers!
This interview is amazing!! I have never done whiskey/whisky but now...NOW!! I can't wait to grow my experience and palette . Can't wait to try the Sassenach!!!!
Sam Heughan is so handsome ♥️♥️♥️❤❤❤💜💜💜🏴🏴

Does anyone else notice that Sam’s accent becomes more pronounced as he drinks more whisky?
Mine does too, lol
Don’t we all get this way. You use less energy to form words the more you drink.
Happens to us all. 😂
Plus he's so tired, having been there for so long
He says that happens in his Actors on Actors interview with Variety!
This was tremendous. So glad I came upon it. The best interview. Nice to see Sam sharing his passion.

It is the first time that I see Sam so relaxed during an interview. Amazing. And I learned a lot about Whisky.
"This is my jam...." Love Sam so much. Thank you for the interview. I'm going to be looking for Sassanach here in Canada.
Cannae wait, been asking at LCBO for weeks. But, may be wee bit expensive. $150 i would guess? 😀🏴🇨🇦😷
I've watched many an interview and I have to agree this one is special with you Kristopher. Sam is relaxed, comfortable, & seems to be in his element. All signs of a great host. Hope you do another with Sam in the near future. Did you get your bottle of 'The Sassenach' yet?
Oh my God I love him! I want to try some Whisky now.
I had no idea that two of my favorite spirits, Sam Heughan and Scotch Whisky, were so closely linked; It's Hogmanay all over again! Thank you Kristopher and Sam for making this extra-special episode. Kristopher, I found your show by looking through Sam's interviews - I'm so glad I found you! I now get to savor a back-catalog of your whisky wisdom...Can't wait to try The Sassenach (if ever I can get my hands on some :) Cheers!
Loved this interview, Sam rules.
It's so cool to hear Sam speak of the water of life! ❣️🤟😎 Did anyone else catch that His brand launches on Robert Burn's birthday? 💥🎂🥃
Kristopher! This was a such a fantastic podcast/video interview! I had a smile on my face for 34 minutes! You are so knowledgeable and I'll be on the look out for some of the whisky's, bourbons you mentioned. Balcones!
I enjoyed the laid back scene and could listen 👂 to Sam’s accent any day , it’s a great voice....I think 💭 he won’t be happy till he tastes them all....👏😜💕he..he..Sam whisky 🥃 has preserved you, as you aged....like making fine whisky 😁😘👌🥃🥃
Sam este un scoțian autentic și sexi.Imi llace cum își promovează produsul, cu atâta răbdare și amabilitate.❤❤
Thanks 🙏 truly 🤩 Whisky 🥃 Neat👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻FANtastic🙏
Great interview! I love a good whiskey and now I know how to actually pronounce Lagavulin and am understanding much more of the specifics. Can't wait to try the Sassenach.
Just one other thing, please, please do an armagnac. In 1985 I was traveling in Europe with my husband, and we were looking for an old, unknown to tourist guides place to buy an exception bottle of brandy to take along. We stumbled onto a dusty store, with a 1944 Chateau Le Tour in the window. An ancient little frenchman who looked like Yoda with a beret came out, and he and my husband (who had run the wine cellar at a four start restaurant in NYV) got into an hour discussion of wines, brandies.
We walked out with a 1961 armagnac. Outstanding.
Oh we love Armagnac!!! for sure
So glad I watched this interview. I agree that it was great seeing Sam so relaxed. It was nice to finally hear him talk a little more about Sassenach Spirits and share his passion for whisky. I have had limited experience with whisky, but as an Outlander fan, I feel inspired to change that. You are obviously very knowledgeable on the subject (and share Sam's passion for it), so I have subscribed to your channel in hopes of learning more. I am also from the Houston area, so suggestions on an easily accessible, "newbie" whisky would be appreciated.
Good conversation ; don’t know much about whiskey but would like to try the ones they are talking about and Sassenach too .
That was one of the most informative and pleasant interviews I have ever witnessed.
Yes. I like the fact he puts out whiskey. Classy
I did not realize Sam REALLY knows whiskey. I might try some!! 62 and have never drank any. 😳😳😊😊🥃🥃
I've had my bottle for a few weeks and it is awesome! extremely smooth, great flavor
I no longer partake of alcoholic beverages, but, I would LOVE to taste some “Sassenach Spirits”. Wonder if we will get it in Australia? Well done Sam. You are a remarkable human being, as well as a brilliant actor. May your star shine brightly forever.❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳
Natalieba I hope so not that I’m much of a whisky drinker the only ones I’ve tasted are tullamore dew and Jameson’s which are Irish whiskeys yes it’s spelt that way for Irish brands it’s how you tell the difference between it and scotch that and the fact Irish whiskey is triple distilled .
I feel like I've learned so much and wanted the interview to keep going! I'm such a history nerd.🤓 Definitely going to share this with my hubby. Great discussion and interview.👍
Awesome! Release date of 1/25/20. Perfect timing if we can get it for our 25th wedding anniversary on February 25th.
Sam looks a little like my brother and we decend from Scotland. I wonder......could we be related. I hope not because I can't get past my Jaime crush. Ha! In all seriousness Sam is a wonderful actor and I love Scotish Whiskey.
Sassenach whisky is available online in Australia 🇦🇺 currently waiting for it to arrive x
Great interview!!
how are they not raging drunk by the end of this interview? Even those little tiny bits would make me fly around the room!!
I had a relaxin Time for 34 Minutes.. with this Interview and Laphroaig. Thanks for the good Question / Just Talking about Whisky... This is not usual.
Loved watching Sam talking about Whiskey! Very hot!! Gotta get me some Sassenach.
Sam, the best!
"I'd rather sit here with you than go to that" lolol!
Great interview . Thanks
Finally, another dimension to Sam!
Sam's jacket is absolutely gorgeous
Just a loveley intervju for two years ago withkristoffer
Did I miss Sam trying the pre-wwII bourbon? I hope he got to try it, even if it was edited out.
The host accidentally broke the cork and they had nothing to get it out with. He wasn’t able to uncork the bottle!😕
Delicious on so many levels!
❤❤great interview, love Sam enjoying whisky!!🥃🥃 Slainte
Oh my gosh I loved this ... I can’t wait to have a wee dram 😍
The Bushmills distillery is actually my first experience with whisky. I was travelling through Ireland and decided to visit the distillery where I tasted it for the first time. Been loving it ever since!
M.M.E. V. It’s not bad my uncle got given a dram from mums cousin in Dublin ( he’s mum brother )
Very clever Mister!! You get the single ones wanting to try whisky and the married ones buying it for their men...good on ya to affiliate yerself with Loch Lomond Distillery. Should help them as well, they are not exactly known for fantastic whiskys BUT they make their own malts and grains, good for blending your own. Well, I wish you every success, and to you people out there who can't get their paws at a bottle of Sam's whisky, I recommend the Loch Lomond Signature...also a blend, very easy to drink and not too dear to buy.
