One Nation Under Whisky

Joshua & Jason have a sit down with American Single Malt Whiskey Commission President, Steve Hawley, to discuss the status of American Single Malt Whisky. Where are we 18 months in to ratification? Is the public more aware? Has the classification helped producers yet? What direction is American Single Malt Whisky going in flavor/quality-wise? There's only one way to find out...

...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 & Jason have a sit down with the one and only Alastair Brogan of Vapor Distilling, producers of Boulder Spirits in Colorado. Listen in as the duo learn about a Scotsman's endeavor -- an incredibly successful and delicious endeavor, we might add! -- to make Whisky here in the US.

Together they also taste through an upcoming July 2026 release of an SCN cask of American Single Malt from Boulder Spirits. Lots of fun you'll not want to miss.

Spurred by an lengthy email from dear friend, Nation member, padcost listener, and head blender of Tormore and Black Tot Rum, Ollie Chilton, Joshua and Jason discuss -- once again -- the idea of terroir in whisky, this time with our most recent episode with Scott Blackwell of High Wire Distilling in mind.

Is there terroir in whisky? Is it more of a "sense of place"? Is it all just semantics? Listen in and find out what these two jamokes think!
