#7: Josh Hatton - Single Cask Nation Retail Preview

Beast Masters Ben and Steve sit down with Josh Hatton from Single Cask Nation.  

Josh is about to launch a new line of single barrel malts, the first Single Cask Nation bottles available in liquor stores. Josh specializes in finding special casks, often from distilleries that would normally only produce products used in blends. By showcasing some of these hidden gems in his single barrel SCN bottlings, Josh is bringing a fresh perspective to scotch whisky.

FEATURING THE SCN RETAIL LINE:
Girvan Single Grain Scotch Whisky 2006  10 Year (57.7%)
Glentauchers Single Malt Whisky 2008 8 Year (58.1%)
The Glenrothes Single Malt Whisky 2007 8 Year (56.3%)
Ardmore Single Malt Whisky 2008 8 Year

#6: Signatory Vintage

Steve, Ben, and the Beast Masters sit down with Tricia Chimento and taste through a superb line of their single cask malts. 

Signatory Vintage is one of our favorite independent bottlers. We taste this month's club selection, an 11-year old Caol Ila from their Unchillfiltered collection, as well as some of their rare Cask Strength Decanter Collection, starting with a 1973 33-Year malt!

#5: James & Peter Wills of Kilchoman

Steve and Ben sit down for a chat with James and Peter Wills of Kilchoman Distillery on the opening night of their 2016 East Coast US Tour.

After leading a tasting at the Brandy Library in New York covering the full range of Kilchoman's offerings, James and Peter gave us some candid insight into all things Kilchoman from the unique perspective of two guys who literally grew up inside the workings of one of Scotland's few farm to bottle distilleries. We cover everything from opening the first new distillery on Islay in over 120 years to the craft of making Kilchoman's awesome malts to the best and worst jobs in the distillery. 

#4: Joshua Hatton & Kilchoman Cask Strength

The Beast Masters welcome Joshua Hatton of The Whisky Jewbilee and Single Cask Nation for a very special tasting event.

Josh treats the club to some of his amazing single cask picks and talks to us about how he founded the Jewish Whisky Company and developed The Whisky Jewbilee festival, his private cask buying club Single Cask Nation and Whisky Geek Tours.  
After we sample some of Josh's tasty treats, he slips into his role as representative for Impex Beverages and we taste an incredible, very limited production cask strength version of Kilchoman's flagship offering, Machir Bay.
Josh was generous enough to get a small amount of this special edition Kilchoman for the our club members and there are still a few bottles left for sale here on our site.  Grab one before they're gone!
