Another year, another Mailbag episode. Joshua and Jason received a record number of email questions. Listen in as you listeners challenge the two J's on all things whisky (and rum). If you're lucky you may spot a dick joke or five.
So, 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!

Joshua and Jason have a nice long sit down with WhistlePig Distillery's Master Distiller, Pete Lynch. This is a really deep and fascinating dive into the world of American Rye whisky, blending, finishing, and distilling.
So, 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!

You come to the One Nation Under Whisky podcast for the geeky and nerdy whisky discussion and today's episode is no different. Actually, yes it is. The whisky geekery level goes to 11 in today's conversation with Knockdhu Distillery's Distillery Manager, Gordon Bruce.
We talk fermentation, yeast types, mashing, cycloning, the reasons for why some distilleries would want a clear wash (fermentation) rather than a cloudy one, and so much more.
So, 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!

Joshua and Jason have known the good Alistair Walker for years -- all the way back when he was with the BenRiach Distilling Company and they had just started Single Cask Nation, asking him if he would sell them casks (which he eventually did in the form of a 17yo peated BenRiach). You see, the shoe is on the other foot now...
Since the sale of BenRiach, GlenDronach, and Glenglassaugh FROM the Walker family TO Brown-Forman, Alistair has opened his own whisky company, the Alistair Walker Whisky Co, with the focus on one major thing: Independent Bottling under the "Infrequent Flyers" label. Let's listen in as Jason and Alistair discuss this very thing.
So, 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!

Today J&J are talking with the one and only Meeghan Murdoch of Glenrinnes Distillery. The boys have had this interview in the hopper for a few months now and figured the conversation would make for a wonderful Christmakwanzukkah gift (Joshua and Jason are nothing if not giving).
Let's all get our geek on with Meeghan Murdoch of Glenrinnes Distillery (located in Benrinnes, Scotland). Today Meeghan teaches us how the ins and outs of mashing, fermenting, and distilling can and do affect mouthfeel (THE thing that can make or break the drinking experience)!
So, 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!

It doesn't get much better than doing a live tasting in The Netherlands at Maltstock with someone you hold as, not just as a person you respect greatly within the whisky industry, but also, a good friend.
Listen in as Joshua and Jason share the stage with Mark Watt [formally] of Cadenhead's. Talk about a group of chuckleheads!!!

Raise your hand if you've been in the whisky industry for 5 years. Ok, now raise your hand if you've been in the industry for 10... Now 20... Now 30... 40? Yeah, we didn't think so. Few people can claim four decades in the whisky industry. One exception is today's guest: Stuart Nickerson. A dear friend to both Joshua and Jason, listen in as the boys have a conversation with whisky legend Stuart Nickerson.

What makes for an amazing whisky festival? Well, it starts with a great idea but is supported by an army of helpers to ensure that the event goes to plan without a hitch. We know this because we (Joshua and Jason) had run Whisky Jewbilee in the states for 7 years across 3 cities. Our guest today, Teun Van Wel, knows this doubly so as his Maltstock events don't just run 3 hours but run for a full weekend and have done so since its inception in 2009. How does he do it? He starts off by relaxing.
