Season 7 Ep 13 -- Felipe Schrieberg on Whisky Journalism and Rhythm & Booze (his IB company and record label)

Occasionally worlds collide due to happenstance but, more often than not, it's because someone endeavored to make worlds collide. In today's episode Joshua and Jason talk with Felipe Schrieberg regarding, in part, his whisky journalism, but also his independent bottling and record company, Rhythm & Booze where Felipe and his friend/business partner, and bandmate, Paul Archibald, combine music and whisky in a lovely and thoughtful way. Worlds colliding, indeed!

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!
