Sam Heughan: From Special Forces to... Whiskey?
Sam Heughan, our very own Tom Buckingham, might look like he's permanently ready to tackle terrorists, but in reality? He's probably enjoying a dram of his own whiskey.
That's right, outside of the SAS world, Sam is a successful entrepreneur, running his Sassenach whiskey brand. It's a long way from hostage situations, but hey, everyone needs a good drink after a long day!
