    Nice shoutout for Epoch. I toured their distillery last month and really enjoyed it. I liked the small batch and cask strength immediately and the toasted barrel is growing on me.
    Regarding Tobacco Barn, they're in Hollywood, MD.

    Prices in Maryland are insane. The 2 bottles of Old Soul are exceptional, but it depends on the price. In my area, they're 99.00

    Great video as always! You seem knackered mate...hope you did refill the car! I would have just splashed out on that first store - target those $200-500 bottles and get the deals done...rather have 5 premium bottles in my collection than 20, no matter the price I pay - won't regret the experience and have a few unicorns on the shelf for years - know everyone won't agree, but often value hunting leaves you with many sub-par bottles, whereas if you hit the premium ones, you get to experience the best.

    Maryland prices are getting out of control, especially on some of the everyday stuff. Last week I saw a guy buy a $100 1.75 bottle of Buffalo Trace that brought a tear to my eye. I could have shown him something so much better for that much. Ive started buying at Va ABC.
