In celebration of Single Cask Nation's 15th anniversary, Joshua and Jason revisit a conversation they had with Anthony Wills, Owner and Managing Director of Kilchoman Distillery. When Single Cask Nation launched, the first three casks of whisky bottled were from Arran, BenRiach, and Kilchoman. We here at SCN HQ consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have been the only independent bottlers to have legally bottled a cask of Kilchoman independently. The boys discuss this and other things as a new introduction to this older episode, one of their favorite conversations to date. Joshua and Jason consider themselves incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to travel all over the world to interview some of the most interesting people within the whisky-making industry (and each guest is as interesting as the next). Few, however, are able answer things as candidly as the good Anthony Wills does in this episode. It's his distillery so he gets to do things and talk the way he likes. We like this. We are thankful for this.  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!

It's safe to say that, without Sam Filmus in our lives, there would be no Single Cask Nation, no One Nation Under Whisky, and, on a much larger scale, the whisky landscape in America would be a much quieter place. Sam is a titan in the whisky industry & community. We're lucky enough to call him a friend, and on behalf of Single Cask Nation, we are so thankful for his friendship over these past 15 years and counting. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

In our cask maturation episode with Matt Strickland, where we discussed ex-Bourbon barrels, we dug into the science behind the wood and how it interacts with spirit. In today's episode with David Blackmore, Global Brand Ambassador for Glenmorangie & Ardbeg and dear friend to both Joshua & Jason, we have a more philosophical conversation around "Cask Finishing". Glenmorangie are pioneers, masters, and champions of cask finishing. Let's dig in people. This is going to be a wild ride. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

Special thanks to St. Jodee, St. August, and St. Wyatt for joining me in the outro. Intro was recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp for superior sound quality. Outro was recorded on AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser microphone for better ability to pick up sounds further away from the mic (important when capturing four different people standing or sitting varying distances away from it). All were recorded using the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux Pt 2 releases simultaneously to Pt 1.

Part 2 of a 2 part series.   Okay, pt 1 turned out to be a backwards episode after all, didn't it (who could've predicted?!) But that doesn't mean that pt 2 has to be that too, right? Maybe pt 2 will be about VGM which uses the fibonacci sequence to reinforce fourier operations in Fortnite. Or maybe a sob story about how a chip shortage on the YM2612 is resulting in poachers hunting and killing Sega Genesis…es… to harvest their YM2612 chips for boutique jewelry. Or heck, maybe it's just the Excitebike soundtrack. I guess you'll just have to find out, won't you?

Special outro music is First time Setup from the Switch 2 - composed by Kazumi Totaka (and might I add, one of the biggest teases in the history of video games for Switch 2 adopters like myself who still missed the music-filled Wii and WiiU system suites and were given a little jolt of false hope by it for the new system).   Here is a link to a document which contains details (and links) on every previous NNR April Fools outing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2I0F04kBy4vEAKLAfY3QrIEHVvr9uOIuTJBepoI39c/edit?usp=sharing As well as this link to the spreadsheet I used to plan out these two episodes (apologies for the partially corrupted data. I'm not even sure how that happened). :-D https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sVAx-IQdvs1gXuB0nA7bJX1yepXAx47fTb5Y5GsPNlQ/edit?usp=sharing NOTE: I had intended to pull from not just “St. John” episodes, but from every best-of episode 2019-2025, but ran into my 100 before even getting to the non-St. John episodes. I'll include reversed copies of each mixtape (both used and unused) on this spreadsheet as SUPER BONUSES over on Archive as well as “Backtracks UNBACKED” and “Backtracks - Back-to-Front”. So you can hear everything I heard in the process of putting this together.   Intro and outro recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp through the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux.    Pt 1 released simultaneously to Pt 2.

There are few things we love more than interaction with our dear Padcost listeners. Tom J. (aka "Tomnamurchan") is one of our more active listeners. He's always sending questions in, letting us know when he's appreciated a podcast episode or a new bottling. Add to this, he's just a nice guy all around.  A while back he sent us samples to taste blindly and, together, while they were in Scotland, the J-Team tasted through these whiskies and recorded the blind tasting. Add to this, Joshua brought in an insanely special pour to blind taste Jason and Jess on. Will the J-Team get these whiskies right? Will they get them wrong? There's really only one way to find out. Thanks again to Tom for sending the samples in. We appreciate you more than you can know.  ...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! Special thanks to: - Weigh Down for allowing us to use their song "Wooden Monsters" as our theme song - RØDE for making *really* great microphones - Focusrite for making awesome USB receivers - Joshua Hatton for producing and editing

The J-Team find themselves together in Scotland once again and head on over to the Lochlea Distillery to meet with their Distillery Manager, Darren McCormick. Here's another chance to get a fly-on-the-wall experience touring one of Scotland's few Farm-to-Bottle Distilleries, Lochlea! Now, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess answer your wonderful questions. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

A few weeks back Jess returned to The Village Whisky festival in Nuremberg Germany and, this time around, she had a wee chat with some of our fellow brand-mates within the Prineus portfolio. From friends at Lindores Abbey to Ballindalloch, Indri, and more, listen in as Jess and her compatriots talk whisky at one of the best whisky festivals in the world! ...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! Special thanks to: - Weigh Down for allowing us to use their song "Wooden Monsters" as our theme song - RØDE for making *really* great microphones - Focusrite for making awesome USB receivers - Joshua Hatton for producing and editing

Joshua heads north to beautiful and snowy Canada to spend 5 days with the wonderful people at PWS Imports (Single Cask Nation's distributors within Canada) and, at the very end of a long whisky-filled trip, has a sit down with Travis Watt and Dave Robert to discuss: Canadian whisky clubs, distribution within Canada, Whisky Wonderland Festival, Canadian whisky, Pantera, and so much more! Now, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess answer your wonderful questions. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

Joshua, Jason, and Jess discuss what's to come in Seasoned Hen, I mean, Season Ten of One Nation Under Whisky Padcost. There's lots of fun, approachable whisky geekery, interviews, belly laughs, and some new things coming your way! Now, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess answer your wonderful questions. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

Join us again sometime in the next few months for C1F1 (Channel 1, Finale 1): "The Diamond Episode - pt 1: "popular picks" (my best attempt at emulating a "Listener Picks" episode) focusing on Episodes 51-100, its sister episode, C1F2: "The Diamond Episode – pt 2: Personal Picks" (an unabashedly "St. John's picks" outing on the same subject), and a pair of relevant reruns from 2019 on the history of episodes 1-50 in a nearly identical format, where, between the four episodes, the entire history of Nerd Noise Radio – Channel 1 will be covered! Lastly, be on the lookout (and keep your guard up) for a probable F-isode....suspiciously releasing on April 1st - Delicious VGM on "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds"!

Not only did we receive a record number of questions (sorry, we could not get to ALL of your questions) we had a blast answering them and laughed our (sherry) butts off, too. Now, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in as Joshua, Jason, and Jess answer your wonderful questions. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

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?

2026 Show Notes Addendum: If you're a NintenDomain listener who is new to NNR from Trey and I's "Nerd Noise Radio - Channel Trey" one-off simulcast collaboration, then this rerun should be uniquely interesting to you! So, "Channel Trey" was a one-off between Trey and I, in the style of an episode of the now-defunct "Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2" which I used to do with Hugues Johnson of Retro Game Club (so, another "so and so Johnson" out of Chicago), only with Trey at the mic instead of Hugues. It was in the exact style and format of Channel 2.  Well, funnily enough, what went on to become Channel 2 also began life as a similar fun one-off between Hugues and I all the way back in December 2019. And here is that 2019 one-off. Hugues and I's 6yr earlier parallel to Trey and I's recent outing. This was before I knew I was AuDHD (Autistic + ADHD), and before I knew I possessed African and Jewish ancestry. It was also before I started editing out the "ums". But it's remarkable to me how "different yet the same" it feels to our official Ch 2 episodes which came later, or "Channel Trey" which rose from the ashes of the now-defunct Ch 2. PRODUCTION CAVEATS: At this point, I had not switched from Mac to Linux, so I was using Garageband in MacOS on a late 2014 Mac Mini. Also, I had not yet upgraded to the Focusrite 4i4 (3rd Gen) XLR-to-USB interface, still using the lesser M-Audio MobilePre, and had not yet upgraded to the RODE Podmic dynamic microphone, let alone my current Shure SM7B, but was still using my original AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser mic, and lastly, was recording in a very very echoey room with no noise cancellation. But apart from inferior hardware, software, and production techniques, and apart from this being my very first time ever doing something even remotely like this, the seeds of all NNR Channel 2 episodes, as well as the seeds of "Channel Trey" are all very much present here! This is where it all started: Channel 2, Channel Trey.....all of it! My intent for this month is to also rerun not only our very first  official Ch 2 episode from Sept 2020, but also C1E16: "Songs with Words", the first episode of the last season, and what in my personal opinion is the very best Ch 2 episode of all, perhaps save for C2F, our "series finale". Also, if you look back to December 2025 on the NNR podcast feed, you can also catch C2E20: "...all good things...", our final non-retrospective episode of Ch 2. So, if your first experience with Nerd Noise Radio was "Channel Trey", then you'll get to hear a lot of the context behind that episode! In any case, enjoy the rogue one-off that became an entirely new Nerd Noise Radio program, which would ultimately culminate in yet another rogue one-off with Trey Johnson of NintenDomain!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Original show notes---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. John of "Nerd Noise Radio" and Hugues Johnson of "Retro Game Club" (and "The Retro League" alum) join forces to cover and discuss some of their favorite pieces of VGM from the 2010's. It's about what you'd expect if you put Retro Game Club / The Retro League, Nerd Noise Radio, Legacy Music Hour, and an entire decade of VGM in a blender....ooh, or maybe the hadron collider! For the time-being, this is just a one-time "one-off" special, but if there is enough demand from either, or especially both of our respective listener pools, then we're open to making this an ongoing (albeit occasional, and likely irregular) thing. "Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2", maybe? ;-) Anyway, the power is yours, listeners! Make your voices heard! In the meanwhile?

A few episodes ago Jason asked Joshua if there were any distilleries of note in his home state of Connecticut (the pizza capitol of the world) and Joshua named just a few, one of them being Powdermen Spirits Co.  Located in Simsbury CT, Vince Lucca is producing delicious (and award winning) bourbon at Powdermen Spirits Co. and he's doing it in a way that's very unique; in a way that may have some hesitate or -- gasp -- say nay! Listen up nay sayers (and neigh sayers!), you need to listen to Joshua's conversation with Vince and hear and learn about his process because it's unlike anything you may have heard of before, and while it may not be traditional, it's making some damn fine whisky.  ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

10 years of distillation -- what a milestone for Virginia Distillery Company and for American Single Malt writ large! Joshua and Jason discuss these 10 years but talk, too, about their relationship with the company that goes back 15+ years ago, before the distillery started producing their own spirits. The duo also taste through VDC's new Gingerbread Stout Cask Matured release. Add to this, Joshua discovers that there's a difference between a "Snickerdoodle" cookie and a "Snickers" cookie, which he had been calling, in his head, a "Snickerdoodle" because it actually resembles a Snickers bar. It gets very controversial, people. The good news is, Joshua has shared his in-house "Hatton's-Snickers-Doodle" recipe below which is *delicious*. See below, and try it at home! We'd love to hear your thoughts! Hatton's Snickers-Doodles: 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened) 1 cup Brown Sugar (tightly packed) 1/2 cup Sugar 2 large Eggs 1 teaspoon Vanilla 2 1/4 cups Flour 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Salt 2 cups Torrone Nougut (finely chopped) 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Method Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy and pale yellow in color. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and Torrone Nougat. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Put a cookie in your mouth and eat it. Repeat. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

Glasgow is home to many things whisky-related: Glasgow Distillery, Clydeside Distillery, The Bon Accord, The Pot Still, an SMWS Member's Room, and the home the one and only Jessica Rabbit Guillermo Lomas. The list could go on, really, but would surely be an "incomplete Joshua-Hatton-list" if we left off The Good Spirits Company; one of Glasgow's most respected and well curated whisky shops. Period.  Listen in Jess speaks with Co-owner, Matthew McFayden, about all things Good Spirits Co. It's a cracking conversation, to be sure!  What's more is Jess gives us a recap of her time at the 2025 Glasgow's Whisky Fest.  ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

Single Cask Nation -- America's Original Independent Bottler -- is nearing on 15 years as an independent bottling company. Catch up with the Joshua, Jason, and Jess as they recount their very beginnings and talking about the growth of the company through the lens whisky, packaging changes, the addition of a US retail range, Global growth, and now a pending brand refresh. Lot's of stories here to tell and things we discuss that some of us completely forgot about (looking at you, Hatton!) ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

If you're long-time listeners (now viewers!) of One Nation Under Whisky then you know that, each October, the J-Team drop an episode highlighting their favorite SCN and non-SCN Whiskies of the Year. This year is a little different. Joshua, Jason, and Jess decided to move their favorite non-SCN Whiskies of the Year to their “Year in Review” episode (coming in December) and have focused today's episode solely on their favorite SCN Whiskies of the Year: Online Exclusive, US Retail, and Rest of the World releases. There are some surprises in here, for sure, and Joshua is convinced Jason may have cheated during the guessing game that is today's episode. Tune in, turn on, and dram along... ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

Not only are Single Cask Nation launching a new website on November 6th (which will include access to old accounts and purchasing data, if you're a long standing Nation member) the J-Team are adjusting their launch schedule! Put October 23rd far from your mind and and focus on November 6th @ Noon EST when Single Cask Nation will be releasing 6 new Online Exclusive bottlings. While we mentioned three already in our last Extra Extra Episode (Season 9 Ep 34) today we're revealing the other three. Strap in because, holy cow... ...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 welcome both Shane "Showtime" Armstrong (Master Blender, Westland Distillery) and Jason Moore (Managing Director, Westland Distillery) back to the podcast. In this episode we find our very own Jason visiting with Shane at the Westland "Sensory Lab" going through the design, make-up, and flavors of Garryana 10yo, and then our time with Jason Moore was a chat over Zoom with us discussing the theft of over 12,000 bottles of Westland's whisky which included Garryana 10yo, as well as their "Flagship" and "Watchpost" bottlings. Add to this, and perhaps most importantly, we discuss the historic nature of this Garryana release which is Westland's first age stated whisky! Finally, Joshua and Jason take you through their tasting notes of this seriously epic dram. Spoiler alert: Hot shit, this is good whisky.  ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

It's always lovely having Scott Harris of Catoctin Creek Distilling Company return to the podcast. In today's episode he and Jason discuss the state of the whisky industry writ large (and the fact that Scott feels we're coming out of some difficult times), an investment opportunity in the distillery, potential expansion of the distillery, and just for funsies, Scott makes them both a couple of Toronto cocktails using the newest Catoctin Creek Maple Cask Rye.  ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

The lovely team at Waiheke Island Distillery in New Zealand were kind enough to send Joshua and Jason their latest range of whiskies including a cask sample that shows the direction their spirit is going with some new stills the Distillery has installed. Along with the whisky samples came full information including: Barley types Yeast types Fermentation times Fermentation ABV Spirit cut points Cask type ...and more! A true whisky geeks delight! Listen in as J&J taste through three cracking Single Malts from New Zealand's Waiheke Distillery as well as some of their 14 month old peated spirit! ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

Ok, whisky geeks, this is why you subscribe the One Nation Under Whisky Padcost. It's in depth whisky conversation like this. Jason and Ewan go so far down the Clynelish rabbit hole, discussing science, flavor, and even mythology, that as they venture down the rabbit hole they bypass Alice and all the inhabitants of Wonderland. It's wonderful.  If you love Clynelish get ready to understand why you love it so much (and then start to love it even more).

Joshua and Jason have a proper sit down with the Tormore Blueprint range of whiskies. Listen as the pair break down the whiskies from nose, to palate, to finish.

A wonderfully geeky conversation is had between Joshua, Yoni Miller (SCN's in-house Cigar Czar/Tobacco Trouble-Maker/Meme-Meiser) and Terence Reilly of Aganorsa Leaf surrounding the ins and outs of cigar production, Aganorsa Leaf, and the next SCN cigar project with them using the Single Cask Nation ex-Balcones peated cask. Lots of fun conversation to be had! NOTE: Sadly, the video file from the conversation was lost in transfer so you won't be able to see any of the beautiful faces for this episode.
