Amateur Hour: Atomic's Matt Manser on Scotch (Part 1)

When Atomic Ski Boots Product Manager, Matt Manser, isn’t nerding out about ski boots … he’s nerding out about Scotch. And in this conversation, Matt and Jonathan discuss butt casks and blood tubs; why cask size matters; barrel-aged ski boots; tea spoons; single malts vs. blends; and more.  TOPICS & TIMES: Scotch or Scotches?
