We came in for the live podcast/instagram with Alex Toomy of Ragged Branch. It was such a fun interview and interaction. Tasting the bourbons and hearing the story behind each of them. You have to catch the ‘Cowboy Cut’ so special!

Chat’s is an awesome experience. Bernie is truly amazing, knowledgeable, and truly takes customer service to a new level. My friend and I spent an hour and a half comparing bourbons and vodka’s with Bernie and it was truly enlightening his knowledge and expertise. A must stop if you are in D.C.
