Sam Heughan returns to talk about his New York Times Best Selling Book, What is next for The Sassenach Whisky and of course we taste through a few more new whiskies and fawn over our favorite, mutual passion. . . The Water of Life.
Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.

Mark Reynier believes some of the world’s greatest barley is grown in Ireland, which 'I guess all that rain has to have some benefits’. Anyway, Mark’s Waterford Distillery has created Single Farm Origin, Irish Single Malt Whiskies - expressions of precision and purity, showcasing barley flavors derived from 'individual' Irish farms and harvests. Influenced by the world's greatest winemakers, Waterford obsessively brings to single malt whisky the same intellectual drive, methodology and rigor.
The cool thing, something I’ve never heard of in the Whisky world… the TÉIREOIR CODE a separate code for each Edition covering 3 T’s - Terroir - Transparency - Traceability - a complete and detailed history of what’s in your glass.

I love seeing this side of Sam Heughan. You can see his real passion and hearing him talk on a personal level. Not questions he has answered a gazillion times. I learned a lot about spirits and the hour flew by. Thank you so much for such an interesting a personal conversation with Sam. (notice I didn't say interview)
Wonderful episode...so great to hear people who are true ENTHUSIASTS discuss something they love. Thanks for letting us all eavesdrop!
I can’t believe I’m just finding this interview now. Love the conversation and information exchange between these two whiskey lovers. Sam is such a down to earth, enjoyable person to listen to,
This was so refreshing to see after such a short visit in January! Thanks for bringing him along, and thanks to Sam for being here!
Thank you so much for this intelligent conversation. Loved learning about this side of Sam and his knowledge and passion for whisky. You are a great friend who treats Sam like a regular guy which I'm sure he treasures. I felt like I was just sitting around with a couple of friends listening to them discussing something I'd love to know more about. Thanks so much!!
Wonderful to listen to the 2 of them talk about whisky and other drinks. Sam is amazing, so knowledgeable, so charming and he loves his whisky. It is a pleasure to see him smell the whisky and explain so much. I never had whisky but ordered his Sassenach, can't wait to get it. Hope he did not get drunk tasting so many different drinks. He is a wonderful businessman and his success is endless
I love how Sam pays full attention before nosing and sipping.
Once again the 2 of you knocked it out of the park with this interview and left all of us with a desire to run to the nearest package store. I became a fan of whiskey neat after your January episode with Sam and now I am hooked. Thank you Kristopher for a great podcast and Sam Heughan is the king of men.
Thank you for this conversation with Sam Heughan ,from Portugal, where Madeira and Port are from!
I learned a lot about whisky!
I learned some new information about whisky & I'm waiting to taste my Sassenach for Christmas! I love Sam & anything he is involved in❤️
Kristopher....what a terrific interview! When you did the one in New Orleans Sam didn't want to leave and I didn't want him to leave and this, with all your well thought out spirits, was wonderful. It brought out the fact that Sam isn't JUST devastatingly handsome, a great actor and a nice guy but a really good friend who MAKES good friends like you. Graham pointed that out in the book toward the end when a mishap was almost disastrous....Sam made a decision, not as a producer or actor but as a friend. I find myself liking this man more and more when I see him like this. Thank you for being so innovative and generous.
😞.....🥰😘😻
I just love those conversations with Sam. Thank you!
Wow! Its amazing to watch you and Sam's friendship blossom! You and Sam's love of whisky and spirits is so infectious and routed in the history and crafting of these fine spirits! Sam's humbleness and appreciation shines through and this is a must watch for a true Sam Heughan fan. Thank you!
Ramune is known for the distinctive design of its bottle, called Codd-neck bottles after their inventor, Hiram Codd. They are made of glass and sealed with a marble; the codd head is held in place by the pressure of the carbonation in the drink. To open the bottle, a plastic device used to push the marble inward is provided.
It is so cool to listen to nerds talk about what they love. Your enthusiasm is infectious! I really want to try old bourbon now. ❤️❤️🥃🥃
@@samheughan7717 If Sam wants to chat with me, he has my number, like most US fans. You are not Sam. You are a lowlife, trying to scam fans out of money. Go suck an egg.
@@samheughan2846 Hi, Fake Sam! I hope you get banned!
Thank for having this interview. This is the one show my husband will sit and watch with me that is even minutely related to Outlander. We have both enjoyed the Sassenach and this show introduced us to your Gregarious Grump and some others. We are excited to try some. Get it to NY soon, please!☺
Coming from a family of "moon shiner's" I am glad to see folks bringing back the love of good whiskey. Any time you are in South Carolina come by and we will have a tasting! Love one of your American Scot Cousins.
I thoroughly enjoyed this session with Sam. Thanks!
What a great interview! Sam in his element! Very unique! Great job!
Great conversation.. I loved to hear you and learn some more about whiskey! 👏😍
I envied Sam so much!!! Good envy, of course. What a beautiful gift he's gotten
Dr Atkins who pioneered the low carb trend in the last century, was a huge fan of brown liquor, because you could enjoy any of them neat, on Friday night when you'd dropped another 2lbs !
@UThink UCan He actually fell on ice , hitting his head on a NYC sidewalk that caused his death.
i can not find sassanace in my town.
This was delightful. I so enjoyed learning each and every time. Having Sam on was a special treat as always. Being in Canada, I am constantly trying to figure out a way of getting a bottle of Sassenach from the UK to Canada. still thinking seriously. There has to be a way. lol
I’m Scottish born and bred and don’t like whisky 🥃 is blended so different? I really enjoyed this interview, the knowledge of Whiskey Neat is impressive I ordered a bottle of gin from the Isle of Islay on the back of this conversation.
@@margotwelland2459 Heya...blended Whisky is different as it allows the producers to ensure they have a product that is consistent in quality and taste. For example Johnny Walker, which you surely know, is made up of about 30 different malt and grain whiskys. But then, what we call a Single Malt Whisky is also in a way a blend, as it can contain different whiskys, bu they have to be from the same distillery. If you are a purist, only Single Cask Whisky will do...greetings from a German born and bred Whisky enthusiast.
I bought myself a 1985 Wild Turkey 8/101 decanter for my birth year and being a huge baseball fan, I put it in a baseball bat decanter.
I enjoyed your friendly conversation with Sam about your mutual passion for whiskey. Pleasant also to see him react to the nice gift and feel him relaxed without the pressure of an interview.
I'm trying to "learn whiske" (Scottish to begin with) and listening to you encourages me to continue. What is difficult for me is to identify the markers, dried fruits, spices .... the flavors will please me or not but ..... Thank you for sharing your passion.
Thank you Kristopher! Learning about whisky and your show is very helpful.
I loved learning about the different drinks, and having Sam back on was a special treat. He looked like a kid on Christmas morning opening the box, which I would have too! I watched your last show with him also, which was also a treat.
Wild Turkey is my favorites - YOU'LL LOVE it Sam!!
Great interview!! And very educational! I enjoyed it a lot!
I dear say that that 40yo whisky was a huge detail 👌🏻
Such a great 'conversation ' so relaxed and informative, love hearing about the different whiskies etc...learning loads. 😋 Just one little thing😜.... Sam, I wouldn't have thought is either ' stuck in the UK' or 'Trapped in the UK' his is home in the UK.🥰😉
I suppose for people whose jobs often involve travel of if they have family and friends in other countries who they long to see, then they may well feel rather stuck, no matter how much they love where hey are.
@@samheughan2846 You are not Sam Heughan. Go away.
@@samheughan2846 You are not Sam. Go away!
Great, i love it... And i also love that Sam, at least knows a venezuelan Rum, Diplomatico.
What a nice interview, not the regular drooing comments. This is refreshing, thank you
I loved this! I’m a big fan of Sam! He’s adorable!
This is great. Because of your first interview, I've started delving into Texas whiskies. Thank you. Gregarious Grump Rum looks very interesting. What a great concept!
Thank you for giving him something spelled with an 'R'. Scots accent saying R - Rumble cask....
Loved this hour of great information and libations! You and Sam are such good friends now and share the love, know"the feels" a good liquor can bring to the senses.
Such great conversation, I had to open my bottle of Glendronach Peated Port Wood Whisky so I could join in, probably my new favourite! Thank you Kristopher for bringing this to us, and hopefully the next one with Sam will be in person in the highlands 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
I couldn't be happier for you - *no smile* lol
Patiently waiting on my Sassenach whisky to be delivered.
I look forward to these personal chats with Sam!
Lovely to watch the chat between you two. If only we could smell those spirits from the other side of the screen...
Also a tip, from a portuguese here: Do Not go to Spain for casks of Madeira and Port. Go to the source, Portugal. But I think that as you go on that journey you will find everything you need to know.
I agree and also just sharing and not being asked the same question and also learning about whiskey and more.
I am learning so much listening to your 2 conversations with Sam about whisky, and I am waiting for my bottle of Sassenach to arrive. I have worked in the wine industry, so I love tasting varieties of wines and other liquors. I need to find a place where I can taste a line up of whiskies. I'm also going to look for your Gregarious Grump -- did you ship any out to California or was it all sold in Texas?
Another great interview, Kris! I love the knowledge between the two of you.
@@samheughan6224 You've been reported. You aren't Sam Heughan so delete your account.
Very interesting episode. I loved learning about all the different varieties of bourbons and whiskeys. Thank you so much for putting this out!
I have watched this before but by then my bottle of Whisky was stuck in Scotland but today I had to watch it again while having a wee dram of Sassenach
What a fantastic episode. I haven't drank in years but watching this really makes me want to get back into testing new whiskeys. Great work
I don’t drink any long due to diabetes, but I really enjoyed seeing Sam in this very different interview or dialogue. It was great and I learned something too! I learn what to buy for friends and family. Thank you.
Kristopher, I have learned so much about whiskey/spirits just in this one hour! I finally feel equipped to pick something delicious for my whiskey-loving husband’s birthday! Brb, off to find some cask strength scotch…and now I get to be snobby about something else, so thank you! (80 proof? I didn’t know you were raised in a trailer park.) 😉
THANK YOU BOTH! for teaching me the right way to drink scotch whiskey... all these years i have been doin it wrong lolol. love seeing the real you Sam, although Jaimie is quite ok too! :)
I don't drink whiskey but if he offered to Share the love, I would accept!
Good luck with your new ADVENTURE ❤️
@@samheughan2846 Hello to you
@@samheughan2846 YEP!
@@shellycrowell2172 That's not really Sam Heughan. I reported him.
Wild Turkey Time Capsule...interesting ~ Thanks for sharing another great meetup between you whisky geeks. Loved every sec and took a lot of notes. ~ Blessings!
Hey guys this was a class a interview I really enjoyed seeing y'all enjoyed these bourbons and alcohols that wild turkey I have tried it here in nc it is a good alcohol good drink.. thanks guys...
I still remember last years interview as the best Sam Heughan interview done (sorry Josh). This one didn't disappoint. Always learning something new listening in to good friends chat whisky and other spirits.
Such a great show!
Just randomly watched all this at 3am, never knew a thing about drinks before. Can't wait to start trying 🥃
Great bit Kristopher, a joy to watch. I enjoy the whiskey discovery world myself and had one with you both while watching, sláinte agatsa!
Love the trailer! Bought my husband the book for Christmas and he loves it! Can't wait for the series! ❤️
Why i am tearing on the last part where sam open the last bottle same age like him.. im so emotional 😭 why why why
Amazing to learn more about distilled spirits!
Loved this conversation. The bit about which nostril you guys use is perfect 😂!
Tried to order Sassenach but that gorgeous bottle of liquid gold isn’t ready yet. Something to look forward to.
Oooohhh. I picked up a bottle of Rumble in July when I was in Texas (along with 5 bottles of some of their other stuff). I now realize I didn't pick up nearly enough because they're now almost gone.
Ahh, Wild Turkey...the first alcohol I ever drank. 1995, I was 16 and we raided a friends parents' liquor cabinet. Now all I can think about is how old that bottle was? Thanks for this episode, loved it!
Kristopher, is there a way to get on a mailing list or waiting list for your next release of Gregarious Grump rum?
I second this!
Me too - I live in Texas, but a touch far to just drive to Houston to check!
me too!
Wild Turkey was the art college drink back in the 70's in NYC. I truly had no clue what I was enjoying, we would follow with expresso shots, Gauloises or pot! Lol
I feel exactly the same! As a New Yorker old enough to drink in the 70s, I call Wild Turkey my 'childhood in a bottle'!!
I remember Wild Turkey!!! In southern state of USA. Not only for a Yankees! Hahaha
YOU'RE the best Sam. I went on a highland tour of the Scottish highlands and across to Skye. There were 2 Americans on board who were only interested on single malt whisky. 🥃🥃🥃
🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇 I know, they're not really stars, but the closest emoji that I could see! Thank you both for a very interesting discussion. I love listening to people who know their topic well discussing something. Happy Christmas to you both and stay safe. 🎄
I don't know why I am watching this, I do not tolerate hard liquor but I was curious about the discussion, very interesting
This was amazing to watch!! What a nice gift to give Sam!! Great interview!! I'm so excited to try the Sassenach whiskey!!
Very nice conversation ; apparently you two appreciate those drinks.
You should visit France and taste old Armagnac or Cognac, an incredible experience if you like these kinds of drinks.
Good show.
What a great interview, such a beautiful moment with the Wild Turkey.
I watched the first time Sam was with you on your show in New Orleans, La. and really enjoyed the show . This time I enjoyed it even more watching both of you tasting and smelling. I guess the reason is I just got my bottle of Sassenach Whisky. Now I"m NOT by any means a Whisky drinker or any other kind of drinker but wanted to try something different. I will set with my Son Aaron who just happens to be the same age as Sam born in 1980 and taste and smell just like the two of you did. I will let you know how it goes.
Just found this interview loved it.
Who would have thought whisky drinking could be so interesting 😃
Nice one again my man!! Funny, Sam sniffing the cork at 16:32. Automatism because of the red wine glass? ...and then he pours himself what I can only describe as a 'Scottish dram' as it must've been at least 8 cl into that wine glass!
Oh, and as for your question at 52:08, Strathearn is, as far as I am aware, the only distillery which has done Single Malt and Rum. In 2017 they have released one that's called "Dunedin Golden Rum". Other Rum producers are doing only Gin and Rum in very small batches. In Edinburgh, there's Gleann Mòr Spirits, which is an independent bottler for Single Malt, they also do Gin and a Blend that's called Edinburgh Rum. Oh, and then there are a couple of breweries that now moved into distilling, like BrewDog (Five Hundred Cuts Botanical Rum) and Aberdeeens Fierce Brewery (Coffee & Vanilla Rum).
It is a pleasure to watch such charismatic, cultured and pleasant men. Your conversation came out very cozy! It is a pity that there is no malt liquor in the list of spirits, which can be used for alcohol production in Ukraine=( It would be very interesting, what could be the Ukrainian whisky, what are its features and would it please such gourmets and aesthetes like you.
The marble bottle thing Sam talked about is still available in India specifically Delhi (the capital)... Of course if it is what I think it is... We call it 'banta'... It's a type of lemonade
God I love seeing Sam enjoy whiskey
"I only eat green M&M's... " Tell me more Sam... 🔥💚🔥
💕💞❣️ hahahahahahahaha
Learning so much. Thanks Guys!
I'm not a drinker but I must say...rum sounds very tempting.👍
Kristopher, this was a really great episode, I love Sam. But I love learning about all these great liquors! Is it possible to get on your mailing list? I’d love to purchase some of your & Sams recommendations... I’d like to purchase & learn more. Your very good at what you do! Thank you for this great interview! 🥃🥃
Great show! Great product! Great interview with Sam Heughan!!!🏴⚔️👌😘🥃🥃🎁🎄
Adorable how spirited you both are about these spirits 😉 👍
If you don't take a risk, you'll never know. My god, Sam looks so young...or maybe I'm just old!! 💓
I think are both. Probably, we all look older than him 🤣
that was really wholesome
Great interview! I’ve made at least 4-5 pages of scribbled notes. Thank you!
As always I’m late on seeing this. I’ve never been a whiskey drinker but sassenach whiskey or Sam made me want to try it! Can’t get sassanech here yet but I’ve become so very interested in watching Whiskey Neat. Tomorrow I’m getting the Balcones single malt so that will be my first try.
That rum looks absolutely delicious!
Sam heughanı çok sevdik ve outlander dizisinin devamını bekliyoruz .
¡¡¡Sam Heughan SALUD Y BIENESTAR!!! ☺🤗
Wild Turkey! One of my dad's favorites!!!
Older, but this particular could be a twin to last, only more awards!
Love Kristopher’s conversation with Sam ‘Mr. World Wide’ nice and relaxed, interesting story about glass stopper’s becoming marbles! ‘Clanlands’ book, Remarkably funny, I howled with laughter at every turn of a page, Not sure what ‘Santa’ would think of his new tittle, Alcoholic Santa 🎅 that would be a bit dicey on the roof tops! He did manage to deliver a box of Sam’s favourite goodies though from Kristopher, Sam’s eye’s lit up when he came to the forty year’s old ‘Turkey Whisky’ and more goodies, please Sam, Go Easy! I am looking forward to my Son’s Gift 💝 to me of the long awaited ‘Sassenach’ on Christmas Day while listening to the Audio Book of ‘Clanlands’ Slainte mhath! 🥃
11:14 "oh....you sent me some.... M&M's?" GAH SAM YOU ADORABLE WHISKY ENTHUSIAST
I miss spending time with people as well Sam - hopefully soon things will return to normal!
Love that the RUM is from Barbados. Best damn Rum around! Also, is this true, no added sugar. wonder how a T1 Diabetic would do drinking that? Must try at least once. :)
Awsome interview
I wish that I could be able to taste some of the spirits ( drinks) they're trying. Looks wonderful 😊.
That interaction & tasting with you & Sam was absolutely charming! Very informative, as well. 🥃🍯🕊 Slánte!!!
The Best of Isla Blend! Yes! Love that smokey peat! ... that's my jam.
I forgot to add....when will Caitriona Balfe be invited on? Dying to hear more about Forget Me Not gin and it's launch in the US! I'm just a lush🤪☺
