Ewan Morgan "National Luxury Ambassador & Head of Whisky Outreach for Diageo" (boy, that's a mouthful!), joins Joshua and Jason for a looooong overdue conversation. These three are old and good friends and boy does it show! It's like listening into to a fantastic pub conversation. The only things missing were pints and drams.

Mo McAuliffe has been a dear friend of Joshua's for going on 20 years (and a friend of Jason's for 11+ years) and has been his and Jason's in-house graphic designer behind their entire Whisky Jewbilee festival bottling series, the Single Cask Nation Woodcut Series, Undisclosed "Pre-Fire" 24yo Kentucky Bourbon, Pap'pi Nansens, and Hello from the Magic Tavern bottlings. Beyond being a ridiculously talented artist she's one hell of a human being.

The whisky industry is steeped in centuries of tradition be it here in the US, in Scotland, Ireland, and more recently in the 20th & 21st centuries in dozens of countries around the world.
