One Nation Under Whisky
One Nation Under Whisky is a Podcast for Whisky Geeks by the Whisky Geeks who founded the independent bottling company, Single Cask Nation. While very in depth and geeky, One Nation Under Whisky offers a "Car Talk" approach to learning about the whisky industry. Lots of laughs and great interviews with distillers, producers, master blenders, brand owners, and the occasional actor, comedian, or musician.

You guys! We did it! We've wrapped up another season of One Nation Under Whisky and did so in the traditional way: answering your questions!
Our 2026 MailBag Episode is here. Not only did we receive a record number of questions (sorry, we could not get to ALL of your questions) we had a blast answering them and laughed our (sherry) butts off, too.
Now, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess answer your wonderful questions. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

A couple weeks back our dear friend and listener of the padcost, Ollie Chilton of Elixir Distillers, told Joshua that he missed hearing good whisky news on our "Extra! Extra!!" episodes. Joshua gave him a challenge: "If you can bring us good whisky news, Ollie, we'll cover it on the padcost!"
Well, Ollie brought some good news and so we decided it was best to have Ollie on the pad to discuss his good news with us.
...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!
