One Nation Under Whisky

Joshua and Jason follow up on a story that broke in June of 2022 but is back in the spotlight again as the person this story focuses on, Casey Alexander, a predatory "Cask Investment" con artist, will be sentenced on July 11th to the tune of 20 years in prison and a pretty big fine.

You know it's going to be a great episode when Westland Distillery's very own Matt Hofmann is a guest!

We're kicking off Season 7 of One Nation Under Whisky with the one and only Victoria Eady Butler. Victoria is not only Whisky Magazine's 2021 & 2022's Master Blender of the year she's also the great-great grand daughter of Nathan "Nearest" Green, the father of the Lincoln County Process, a process integral to any Tennessee whisky wanting to call itself, in fact, 'Tennessee' whisky!
