Getting Geeky w/Dave Withers & Dave Fisher of Archie Rose Distilling Co.

We know we always tell you to strap in when we're releasing a very geeky episode of the padcost but, my gosh, get your whisky geek head gear on because you're going to learn of distillation and blending practices in a way you never have before. Huge thanks to Dave Withers and Dave Fisher for joining Joshua and Jason on the padcost!

Extra! Extra! It's All About Tariffs, 2025 Edition!!

As Jason says, we'd rather have a root canal than discuss whisky tariffs again but, here we are, talking about them because the recent bout of proposed tariffs on Canadian products is directly affecting American whisky producers and people to the tune of just about a billion dollars in lost export revenue, annually.

Onsite at Potter Jane Distillery w/Jane Bowie

Season 9 has officially begun! Joshua and Jason fly out to Kentucky to meet with Potter Jane Distillery's Co-Founder, Jane Bowie.
This was a rare opportunity to walk through the distillery, which is still in construction, to discuss the plans and dreams both Jane Bowie and Denny Potter have while watching these dreams being built in real time.
Also in discussion is the state of the whisky industry writ large. It's not as bad as you think it is! We hope you enjoy being a fly on the wall at our Potter Jane distillery tour.

Season 8 Ep 25 -- News for Season 9 & a masterclass in Independent Bottling w/David Stirk (Re-release)

As Joshua, Jason, and Jess circle around the upcoming season (that's Season 9, btw, which is absolutely bonkers to us) they consider the feedback that's been sent in over the last year. Listeners had a loads of input and so the 3 J's decided to listen to many of the great ideas and enact them!

Bring back a dedicated News podcast, a la "Extra Extra," you ask? You got it!
Could you include more tasting notes on your SCN whiskies, you ask? Your wish is our command.
