He flew over 60 combat sorties in Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as hundreds of sorties in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in addition to contingency operations in the Asia / Pacific theater of operations.  Upon completion of active service, Mark attended the University of Virginia Darden School of Business where he completed his MBA.  

After leaving his finance career to pursue his dream to produce whiskey, he met Bob Stilnovich, a Vietnam veteran and the founder of Golden Distillery in Samish Island, WA, and one of the first producers of American Single Malt Whiskey in the country. Soon after, Mark and his friend and co-founder, Arch Watkins, moved into Bob’s guest house to learn the business of distilling. Upon Bob’s retirement, Mark and Arch took over the business in 2015 and relocated tin Baltimore, MD, where the company is based today, operating as Old Line Spirits.

Lineup:

Old Line American Single Malt (REG. $54.99) (SALE $39.99)

Made from 100% malted barley, this American Single Malt Whiskey is aged in charred, new white oak casks, which impart essences of caramel, honey, and vanilla that complement the malt flavor. This whiskey sips very well neat and makes a great cocktail.

Old Line American Single Malt Cask Strength (REG $59.99) (SALE $44.99)

Bottled as it comes out of the barrel, this cask strength whiskey delivers all of the spirit’s character in a bold and well-rounded flavor. Not for the faint of heart, this is the most serious expression of Old Line’s award winning Single Malt Whiskey. Perfect served over a cube of ice.

This is a FREE event. No need to RSVP. Must be of legal drinking age (21+) to attend. Space is limited.
