West of Tradition American Single Malt Documentary w/Director Greg Swartz
Greg Swartz and the team at Blacksmith & Jones are responsible for a number of notable documentaries. Those of us in the whisky-o-sphere surely know of "Water of Life Film," a documentary around the history and craft of Scotch whisky, or perhaps "Independent Spirits," which focused on Independent Bottlers (The J-Team are proud to have been featured in this film!). Today we sit down with Greg to discuss his latest film, "West of Tradition" which focuses on American Single Malt Whisky. So much fun was had during this conversation and we got to understand a fair bit about the film making process. Joshua & Jason always enjoy their time with Greg but this conversation was especially good. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation! Special thanks to: - Weigh Down for allowing us to use their song "Wooden Monsters" as our theme song - RØDE & Shure for making *really* great microphones - Focusrite for making awesome USB receivers - Joshua Hatton for producing and editing
