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.

Speaking with someone who has their finger on the pulse of the entire whisky industry is always a treat and Susannah Skiver Barton is always that someone for Joshua and Jason. Erudite and insightful as well as thoughtful and funny spending any time with SSB (as the boys affectionately refer to her!) is time very well spent. In their conversation they discussed how 2020 severely impacted the whisky industry, what needs to be done to make sure we encourage more women and people of color to join us in our whisky circles, and predict what lies ahead in 2021. And they certainly shared a few laughs along the way.
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!

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!
