One Nation Under Whisky is a Podcast for Whisky Geeks by Whisky Geeks. Learn about the whisk(e)y industry with a focus on Independent bottling
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 whi...
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.
Add to this, the 3 J's share the news of a number of bottlings being released (right now) both in the US and around the world.

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 incredi...
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 ...
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'...
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 spe...

A tradition we're keen on keeping is having the inimitable Susannah Skiver Barton on the padcost for the annual Year in Preview episode.

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.
