Season 7 Ep 12 -- Discussing Auctions with Jess Lomas and SwedeScot

In the first of a few conversations regarding auctions, Joshua and Jason talk to their dear friends, Jess Lomas and Christoffer "SwedeScot" Hällström , who've both had quite a history in online auctions. Jess came to Single Cask Nation from a job at an auction and SwedeScot still works for one. If anyone is going to have insight, it'd be these two!

While Jason was off galavanting in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest Joshua spent some time with the inimitable Bikram Singh, owner of Norfolk Wine & Spirits in Norfolk Massachusetts which is, perhaps, the largest single store outlet in the US focusing independently bottled spirits. 
Bikram and Joshua discuss both Indy bottlings as well as what the various futures of DTC (direct to consumer shipping) could look like for retail shop owners. We also get to hear Birkam's whisky origin story which is really quite fun!
