That question is at the heart of this conversation about official offerings vs independent bottlings, but Matt and Jonathan also find time to talk about Scotch and spit buckets; Matt’s current top-3 ‘hottest’ Scotch brands; the short lifespans of humans vs the long lifespans of craft categories; upcoming ski trips to Japan (Blister members, listen up); and more.TOPICS & TIMES:Peated Scotch & Spit Buckets (3:18)Signatory, Edradour, & Independent Bottling Co’s (6:41)Matt’s Top-3 ‘Hottest’ Scotch Producers (14:22)Country-Specific Offerings: Scotch & Skis (21:38)Blister Members: want to go to Japan?
