One Nation Under Whisky

Joshua and Jason discuss the ins and outs of bourbon cask maturation while using Matt Strickland's book "Cask Maturation for Distillers" as well as their previous padcost conversation with him as a touchstone & jumping off point.
Add to this, the boys discuss 3 new US Online Exclusive bottlings being launched in April -- all Bourbon Cask Matured Scotch whiskies, mind you!

There are few things the Joshua, Jason, and Jess love more than interaction with their listeners. Tom J. (aka "Tomnamurchan") is one of the more interactive listeners. He’s always sending questions, letting the team know when he’s enjoyed an episode or a new bottling. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely nice person.
A while back he sent over some samples to be tasted blindly, and while they were in Scotland, the J‑Team tasted those whiskies and recorded the blind tasting. Joshua also brought in an insanely special pour to blind-taste Jason and Jess.
Will the J‑Team get these whiskies right? Will they get them wrong? There’s only one way to find out. Thanks again to Tom for sending the samples. You are appreciated more than you know.
