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.

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!

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.

Note: This episode is on YouTube and there's a powerpoint presentation in there that is SO INCREDIBLY worth seeing. Ewan has only ever shown this powerpoint once before and it's the most amazing, in depth thing you'll ever see.

If you love Clynelish get ready to understand why you love it so much (and then start to love it even more). All Hail the Duke of Sutherland, Ewan Morgan!
