Joshua & Jason have a sit down with the wonderful Phil Brandon of Rock Town Distillery out of Little Rock Arkansas. Together they discuss the distillery, production, and upcoming SCN single cask, bass guitars, conjoined twins (uh-huh) and a whole lot more!

Hood River Master Distiller, the wonderful Caitlin Bartlemay, returns to discuss a very special collaboration with Single Cask Nation. A whisky unlike any SCN has released before. Wild stuff! You'll not want to miss this one!

As part of our series of American Whisky-focused episodes/interviews, Joshua and Jason have a sit down with Scott Blackwell, Co-Founder/Owner of High Wire Distilling. If you don't know the "High Wire" name you sure gotta know know Jimmy Red Bourbon! If you don't know High Wire or Jimmy Red, well strap in, because you're about to hear a fantastic conversation between the two J's and the wonderful Scott Blackwell. Geeky, fun, funny, informative. You know the drill.

Part of what makes this conversation so special is that it's a conversation with a new collaborative partner to Single Cask Nation. We're honored to collaborate with Scott and the team at High Wire and so excited for our very own upcoming single cask.

Jason invites Virginia Distillery Company's Lead Blender, Amanda Beckwith, to his home office for an interview to discuss whisky "Cigar Malts". Wouldn't you know VDC has a new one, to boot!

This is the first of many American-producer-focused episodes which will all lead up to something very special come early July!

In celebration of Single Cask Nation's 15th anniversary, Joshua and Jason revisit a conversation they had with Anthony Wills, Owner and Managing Director of Kilchoman Distillery. When Single Cask Nation launched, the first three casks of whisky bottled were from Arran, BenRiach, and Kilchoman. We here at SCN HQ consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have been the only independent bottlers to have legally bottled a cask of Kilchoman independently. The boys discuss this and other things as a new introduction to this older episode, one of their favorite conversations to date.

Joshua and Jason consider themselves incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to travel all over the world to interview some of the most interesting people within the whisky-making industry (and each guest is as interesting as the next). Few, however, are able answer things as candidly as the good Anthony Wills does in this episode. It's his distillery so he gets to do things and talk the way he likes. We like this. We are thankful for this. 

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!

It's safe to say that, without Sam Filmus in our lives, there would be no Single Cask Nation, no One Nation Under Whisky, and, on a much larger scale, the whisky landscape in America would be a much quieter place. Sam is a titan in the whisky industry & community. We’re lucky enough to call him a friend, and on behalf of Single Cask Nation, we are so thankful for his friendship over these past 15 years and counting.

In our cask maturation episode with Matt Strickland, where we discussed ex-Bourbon barrels, we dug into the science behind the wood and how it interacts with spirit. In today's episode with David Blackmore, Global Brand Ambassador for Glenmorangie & Ardbeg and dear friend to both Joshua & Jason, we have a more philosophical conversation around "Cask Finishing". Glenmorangie are pioneers, masters, and champions of cask finishing. Let's dig in people. This is going to be a wild ride.
