Something not often discussed on One Nation Under Whisky -- world whiskies, and more specifically, what it means to import world whiskies into the US and how to grow these brands on US soil. It's not an easy task but somehow Raj Sabharwal, a true pioneer in the importation of world whiskies into the US, make it look so. Joshua and Jason have a conversation with their dear friend Raj.

In today's episode Joshua and Jason have a good sit down with whisky legend Robin Coupar. When someone thinks "whisky legend" they usually picture the master distiller, master blender, or distillery manager. It's not often one thinks about a Brand Manager or Brand Advocate as a whisky legend. However, in the case of Robin Coupar, his status being legendary is apropos. If you've discovered brands like Glenrothes, Wild Turkey, Yamazaki, Glen Grant, Appleton Estate, Forty Creek and more, you can th...

Another slight detour from your every-other-week whisky podcast; on today's episode Joshua and Jason welcome one of their favorite musicians of all time: Will Oldham aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Both chaps were introduced to Will Oldham, his music, and his acting in the mid-90's. Discussing music and whisky (as well as movies) with one of their musical heroes? Yeah, it wasn't such a bad way to spend a Tuesday afternoon in the hot Kentucky sun. So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in....

Joshua and Jason love it when the wide world of whisky grows wider and further (and better). Brands like Amrut, Yamazaki, Nikka, etc... have surely paved the way for countless "world whisky" distilleries growing in popularity. The wide world of whisky has grown larger with Paul John in it, too -- the boys are just getting caught up. They needed to learn and who better to learn more about Paul John from? The inimitable Shilton Almeida. Ladies and gents -- you're in for a treat! So, as usual, have...

It would seem that the more Joshua and Jason talk to people about whisky the more people start asking "hey, what do you think of rum?" The boys noticed this more and more. It would make sense; the two have been bottling rums since 2017. What do they think of it? They know they love it but they also understand there's so much about rum they simply know nothing of. How best to remedy that? Ring up Rum Whisperer Mitch Wilson ! Today's conversation with the inimitable Mitch Wilson is a wider convers...

Joshua and Jason join Matt "Skinny" Roberts on a detour into beer. Well, seeing as whisky is just beer that's been distilled and aged, perhaps not so much of a detour but a deeper dive into fermentation? Sure., That sounds about right. Right? The boys have had Skinny on the podcast before during the live Westland episode in Season 2 . Listen in as they enjoy a long form and super geeky conversation with Black Raven Brewing Co 's very own Matt "Skinny" Roberts. So, as usual, have a seat, have a p...

Most whisky drinkers think of distillation began in Japan in the early 1920’s when Yamazaki & Nikka began producing their single malts. However, distilling in Japan has been happening since the 15th century. Japan's history of distillation is just as expansive and rich as distillation in countries such as Scotland and Ireland but their tradition is rarely discussed because, in part, the history was not very well kept or has not been translated into other languages. Please join us as Chris Uh...
