One Nation Under Whisky

Our 2026 Year in Preview episode is here! The agenda? Joshua, Jason, and Jess welcome back the preeminent whisky journalist, Susannah Skiver Barton to discuss:

Bourbon -- are people not willing to pay top dollar for Pappy/BTAC/Blanton's anymore?

Scotch whisky -- Are we going to see more tariffs if the US doesn't get Greenland?

Premiumization of whisky -- is it a thing of the past?

American Single Malt -- How's it doing?

Distribution and retail -- How will debt affect these players if sales continue in this downward direction?

plus more...

Thanks ever so much to Susannah for joining us once again to discuss what may come to be for the world of whisky in 2026 and beyond!

Now, 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 discuss something SCN don't do too often: run a promotion on singlecasknation.com. Tune in as the duo discuss their "Bundle Up with SCN" promotion which will run from Jan 26 through to Feb 6th. 

Add to this, J&J taste through the new Bruichladdich Rye 7yo and discuss the growing number of Scottish distilleries dipping their toes into the world of Rye Whisky. It's an exciting time to be a lover of rye whisky.

What's more is Jason shares his Black Manhattan recipe using the Bruichladdich rye below:

Black Manhattan

2 Oz The Laddie Rye
1 Oz Amaro
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash Orange bitters

Method: Stir with ice, strain over ice cube, garnish with brandied cherry.

Happy New Year!! Our very own Jessica Rabbit-Rabbit Guillermo Lomas has a sit down with the wonderful Justine Hazlehurst discussing her book "Opening The Case" regarding the Pattison Whisky Crash. As you'll find out in the interview, this is one of many, many things that Justine does in the whisky world. This is such a great conversation and, dare we say, unmissable! 

We highly recommend you get her book Opening The Case. You can get your copy here: https://bit.ly/4qa3fVD

Well, this is mighty peculiar! An Emmy Award winning actor, the one and only Matthew Rhys, on our cheeky wee whisky podcast? Oh yes! Listen in as Joshua and Jason talk with Matthew Rhys (did we mention he's an EMMY AWARD WINNING ACTOR?!) about whisky, acting, dad jokes, kill rooms, Wales, Penderyn single malt Welsh whisky, and also, the boys drink some fine and rare whiskies with Mr. Rhys. Super fun stuff.

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!
