Joshua and Jason have a proper sit down with the Tormore Blueprint range of whiskies. Listen as the pair break down the whiskies from nose, to palate, to finish. An uber geeky tasting, to be sure!

...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!

Joshua and Jason have a sit down with Murphy Quint, Master Distiller and Director of Operations at Cedar Ridge Distillery. If you're new to One Nation Under Whisky, get ready for a super fun, super in-depth geeky whisky conversation. If you're a long-time padcost listener, you know why you're here (and thanks, as always, for listening!)...

Joshua and Jason discuss the details of Single Cask Nation's August 2025 US Online Exclusive Releases along with the various whisky bundles coming with them. They also swear quite a lot at one another. Is it more so than usual? There's only one way to find out...

Independent Bottling tends to have a sharp focus on Scotch whiskies, specifically single malt. There are a few notable bottlers that focus solely on American Spirits (Lost Lantern and Crowded Barrel come to mind here) but there's no independent bottler that focuses solely on World Whiskies. Well, not until now.

Meet Pablo Goldbarg of Catador Itinerante, an independent bottler who does just that. He's also a long time friend of Joshua and Jason. Here's to a great conversation and a lot of laughs*

*apologies to the Spanish speaking community for Joshua's terrible attempts at speaking your language. He will get a branch to the back!

Joshua & Jason discuss the fact that India dropped its tariffs on Scotch whisky from 150% to 75% with the aim to drop them down to 40% over the next 10 years. This is a boon to the Scotch whisky industry especially during these slower times.

Also, the boys discuss a question that popped up on the internet: “What's the best age to bottle Scotch whisky at?” Sure, it’s a somewhat ridiculous, highly subjective, question but they tackle it nonetheless because not all heroes wear capes!

Man-o-Manschewitz, such a brilliant conversation between Jason and Christopher "Seabass" Sebastian of Blind Barrels! 

Seabass is a friend, a longtime padcost listener, the receiver of our very first listener nickname (wethinks??), a whisky curator for Blind Barrels, and a helluva good guy. The conversation, the history behind Blind Barrels, the fact that Seabass has 87 children, and the blind tasting between Jason and Seabass... It all makes for a wonderful episode.

Joshua and Jason have a sit down to discuss the upcoming Retail Release # 13 for the US.

There are 8 bottlings all in all but, to give you and idea, they've bottled a 17yo Balblair in PX Sherry, a 10yo Ben Nevis in Spanish Oak, a 12yo Benrinnes in New Charred Oak... some real charmers to discuss and a lot of ground to cover.

Add to this, the boys share the details of the August 2025 US Online Exclusive bottlings. Three American whiskies sure to knock your socks off!

Somehow 35 minutes became 59 minutes. How did that happen (again)?

So far, 2025 has been a year of travel for both Joshua and Jason, and the type of travel that has had them separate from one another. For a couple of guys who tend to be tied to the hip, it's been a wee bit strange.

Now, we've been teasing the launch of a very big episode, a much anticipated episode, and we promise you, that will be coming soon (like, this season soon!), but for now the boys wanted to have a catch up, breathe a little, and just share some stories.

FYI: There is a YouTube version of this episode should you wish to listen with your eyeballs.

Who says there's not a lot of whisky news happening in the summer time?! The Ardgowan Distillery in Scotland has finally started running spirit and the Lochranza Distillery on Arran (aka Isle of Arran Distillery) turned 30 years old on June 29th. Both of these items are quite news worthy if'n you ask us!

Add to this, Jess shares details of her time at the Speyside Whisky School and Crisp Maltings and Joshua shares details of his 11 day tour of Scotland with some dear friends who also happen to be Nation members.

Does 57 minutes count as 35 minutes if you're not counting? We think so...

Recorded in March 2025, Joshua and Jess visit The Highlander Inn located in Craigellachie, right in the heart of Speyside to meet with Tatsuya Minagawa, the inn's proprietor. Tatsuya is a legend. This is not hyperbole. This is fact. Once you're deep enough into Scotch and Japanese whisky Tatsuya Minagawa is a name you learn because it's a name that is synonymous with the spirit. 

Listen in as the Jess and Joshua dig into a bit of Tatsuya's history, the history of The Highlander, what you can expect when you visit, and what's to come for the inn's future.
