Joshua and Jason spend a little time with James Saxon, Blender at Compass Box Whisky to discuss his whisky evolution and go into depth to James' blending process. If we were you, we'd grab a whisky and have a sit and listen in.
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!

When it comes to the world/thought/idea(s) behind modern whisky blending companies few, if any, are as well known or well regarded as our friends at Compass Box. No one in modern history has been able to capture the imagination around blended whisky in the way that John Glaser and team have done and continue to do.
Joshua and Jason have an in-depth conversation with both John & James (wait, that's like 4 J's there!!) regarding the art and passion behind blending whisky. The boys also discuss the rules the SWA (Scotch Whisky Association) have laid down (and how Compass Box and other are challenging some of these laws).
This was truly a fascinating conversation and we're over the moon that we can share it with you all.
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!

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.
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!
