What does an independent bottler do? Simon McGoram on teaspooning, age statements, weird rum, and loads more

Simon McGoram is the regional sales manager for Atom Brands, but he’s also been a brand ambassador, a bar owner, once upon a time he was named NZ’s bartender of the year, and he has been a writer, working for a number of years at Australian Bartender magazine as editor and then later, when I was there, as the drinks editor. In this episode, we talk about unnamed whiskies, independent bottlings and how the whole system works — we talk about That Boutique-y Whisky Company and Atom Brands, teaspooning, blended whisky, age statements, floating rum distilleries in Queensland — the lot.
