Jason spends some quality time with Daniel Whittington of The Whiskey Vault and Wizard Academy. Together the two have an absolute *brilliant* conversation discussing independent bottling, whisky marketing, whisky blending, music. An eye-opener of an episode, to be sure!

The first in a series of interviews held in Texas during an SCN launch features Jason sitting down with Emma Crandall & Gabe RiCharde of Balcones Distilling. The trio discuss distilling and blending practices, basically all things Balcones, but touch on the category and future of American Single Malt writ large.
This episode is paired quite well with an SCN release of Balcones -- a massively delicious single malt made exclusively from the legendary Golden Promise barley. Why not open your bottle and enjoy this episode with a generous pour? Don't have a bottle yet? Let's remedy that: https://bit.ly/3X9Q6QD

Joshua and Jason met MGP's Master Distiller, Ian Stirsman, on a chance encounter at the legendary Jack Rose Dining Saloon just after an equally legendary Single Cask Nation event just after the pair won the 2024 Icons of Whisky Award for Independent Bottler of the Year.
Having the chance to talk to someone responsible for making the world's most recognizable bourbon and rye whiskies was a true blessing and a blast to boot!
Add to this, the duo brought Ford Ray in on the conversation as part of Ford's #GivingTuesday2023 winnings. Ford is a long standing Nation member and getting to know him a bit more was time well spent. We hope you agree.

Joshua, Jason, and James have some shared history as all three started their whisky careers via their blogs. Joshua had Jewmalt, Jason had Guid Scotch Drink, and James had Scotch Odyssey.
Fast-forward 13 years and, well, you know Joshua and Jason's story with the birth and growth of Single Cask Nation, but James' journey (or should we say odyssey) led him to the one to take the helm as Whiskymaking Director of Compass Box as John Glaser steps down. Holy moly if that's not the dream of a whisky lover's lifetime we're not sure what is!
Add to this, Joshua and Jason detail the launch of Free Shipping at singlecasknation.com as well as re-share the details of their 6 new American whiskies launching June 6th, 2024.
There's so much to share but, seeing as this is a podcast, best to listen than to read, no?

Few people in the industry have had as storied career in whisky in the way that Chris Riesbeck has. Aside from Chris' story being a fascinating one, Chris is a dear friend and someone Joshua and Jason have been keen to have on the podcast. Today is that day. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as the boyz did.
Add to all this, Joshua and Jason share details of the next 6 bottlings for SCN Online and they're all American whiskies. Real charmers, to be sure.

Since Artisanal Spirits Company (ASC) acquired Single Cask Nation (SCN) a number of questions have come up from around the whisky world. Listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess tackle these questions and clarify a few misconceptions.

Aiming to be green is not a new idea. There are a number of distilleries within Scotland (and the around the world) that are taking measures to improve their processes while reducing their carbon foot print.
What is new is a distillery who leads with this idea. From their barley, to their boiler, to their bottles, Nc'nean distillery have proven themselves to be good stewards of our planet while producing whisky that they're incredibly proud of (because it's wonderfully delicious).
Listen in as Joshua discusses the ins and outs of Nc'nean distillery with Annabel Thomas, founder.

Those that follow bourbon surely know both Denny Potter and Jane Bowie. If not due to their work with Maker's Mark (as well as Heaven Hill in the case of Denny Potter) surely for being on the padcost previously (talking about Maker's Mark & Heaven Hill... boy, I'm typing in circles!).
Having Jane and Denny back on the padcost was an absolute treat. Discussing to the Potter Jane story; hearing how it started and how things are going was a joy as were the laughs along the way.

As far as we're aware, you can count the number of US-based independent bottlers; bottling whisky in the Scottish tradition where the distillery is highlighted/mentioned on two fingers: Single Cask Nation and Lost Lantern.
Listen in as Joshua and Jason (of SCN fame) discuss independent bottling with Nora & Adam (of Lost Lantern fame). There are also a number of Lost Lantern bottlings tasted in this episode. Spoiler alert: they're some highly quaffable bottlings, to be sure!

As a padcost and as padcosters Joshua and Jason always set out to have a fair bit of a focus on independent brands, independent bottlers, and just the independent spirit of the whisky industry in general.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is not a distiller and they do not refer to themselves as an independent bottler. Rather, that are a "Society" (and quite easily the largest whisky society on the planet) that bottles whisky specifically for their Society members. It's a different take, for sure, but one of the most successful "different takes" on whisky since its inception some 41 years ago.
Listen in as Joshua and Jason talk with two key people within the SMWS: Kai Ivalo (Spirits Director) and Euan Campbell (Head of Whisky Creation). The conversation a blast, was wide ranging, and supplemented by a new sherry cask speysider.

A tradition we're keen on keeping is having the inimitable Susannah Skiver Barton on the padcost for the annual Year in Preview episode.
In today's episode we not only revisit our thoughts from last year (to see if what was predicted came true) but we look ahead to what may be in store for the wide world of whisky for 2024.

At the beginning of 2023 Joshua & Jason committed themselves to put a sharper focus on agriculture and how it relates to whisky (which is an agricultural product after all). Having Felicia and Stephanie Ohnmacht return to the Padcost to give us an update on how mother nature has treated them and their business in 2023 only makes good sense. Plus, we love having them on.

One of the nice things about having Covid (mostly) behind us is we get to travel and do live Padcost recordings again. Listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess discuss all things Westland with Ana Hinz, Business Development Manager, and Tyler Pederson, Distillery Manager and Master Distillery. We also taste through Westland's Flagship bottling, their new Garryana 8, and Single Cask Nation's new Peated Westland 9yo from a Pineau des Charentes cask.
It was a packed house at the distillery. Thanks to all that came out and to all who asked such great questions. Cheers!
