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.

Getting back into discussions of independent bottling is always Joshua and Jason's comfort zone. It's been a while since the pair had an independent bottler on the padcost so it was important to bring in some independent bottling royalty. Enter: Cara Laing, Director of Whisky at Douglas Laing. Independent bottling isn't always the glamorous thing people perceive it as. Sometimes, scratch that, most of the time you're dealing with headaches surrounding dry goods, 3rd party warehousing, and label typos.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!

Something not often discussed on One Nation Under Whisky -- world whiskies, and more specifically, what it means to import world whiskies into the US and how to grow these brands on US soil. It's not an easy task but somehow Raj Sabharwal, a true pioneer in the importation of world whiskies into the US, make it look so. Joshua and Jason have a conversation with their dear friend Raj.

In today's episode Joshua and Jason have a good sit down with whisky legend Robin Coupar. When someone thinks "whisky legend" they usually picture the master distiller, master blender, or distillery manager. It's not often one thinks about a Brand Manager or Brand Advocate as a whisky legend. However, in the case of Robin Coupar, his status being legendary is apropos. If you've discovered brands like Glenrothes, Wild Turkey, Yamazaki, Glen Grant, Appleton Estate, Forty Creek and more, you can thank, in good part, Mr. Coupar. Know it or not, Robin is the person who helped you discover these great brands.
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!
