Meet Jess Lomas, driving force behind cask selection at Single Cask Nation

Jess Lomas is coming to Melbourne to share her experience of whisky creation and cask selection at Single Cask Nation. The newest releases have found there way to Australia so it's a great time to have the brains of the operation right here to introduce them. Some of the cracking new casks include one of the oldest Dalmunach's on the market from a sultry Miguel Martin Amontillado cask and a salty Glen Scotia. 

Single Cask Nation is bottled by whisky geeks, for whisky geeks. Founded in 2011 by good friends and affirmed whisky geeks Jason Johnston-Yellin and Joshua Hatton, Single Cask Nation began as a social fellowship committed to making rare, fine single cask whiskies available to fellow whisky geeks. Today, Single Cask Nation stands as America’s leading Independent Bottler and winner of multiple awards in their field. Different to a whisky club, Single Cask Nation represents a unique global community of whisky geeks that counts more than 10,000 followers around the world.
