About Old Line Spirits:

Old Line Spirits is a Baltimore, Maryland-based distillery known primarily for its American Single Malt Whiskey and aged Caribbean Rum. Founded by two Navy veterans, Mark McLaughlin and Arch Watkins, the company emphasizes craftsmanship and military camaraderie.

Background & Location
Old Line Spirits was established in Baltimore in February 2017 by Mark McLaughlin and Arch Watkins, who met while flying EA-6B Prowlers in the Navy. They were inspired to start a distillery after noticing a lack of craft distilleries in Maryland and falling in love with the idea of American single malt whiskey.

Distillery Location: The distillery is located in an old warehouse in the Highlandtown neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, featuring a 5,000 square foot courtyard and an on-site cocktail bar called “The Ready Room”.

Production: The founders learned the distilling process from Bob Stilnovich of Golden Distillery in Washington state, eventually acquiring his equipment and recipes. While some production later shifted to a partnership with Middle West Spirits in Columbus, Ohio, aging and bottling occur in Baltimore.

Name Origin: The name “Old Line Spirits” honors Maryland’s nickname, the “Old Line State,” a reference to the Maryland Line regiment’s heroic actions and dependability during the Revolutionary War.

Spirits & Products
Old Line Spirits focuses on high-quality, unique products, with American Single Malt as their flagship offering. Reviewers often praise their whiskeys for balancing Old World single malt traditions with New World aging techniques (using new charred American oak casks).

American Single Malt Whiskeys: This is their core product line, typically made from 100% malted barley and aged in new, heavily charred American oak barrels.Flagship 95: A 95-proof expression with notes of vanilla, cocoa, and cereal.
Navy Strength 114: A robust 114-proof whiskey with notes of brown sugar, molasses, and dried apples.

Cask Finishes: They offer various limited-edition cask-finished whiskeys, including Port, Sherry, Madeira, Armagnac, and Tokaji finishes.

Aged Caribbean Rum: The company also produces a line of aged rums, which they acquired as a ready-to-bottle product from the Caribbean.

Case 1 Vodka: They produce a line of vodkas (including an Orange flavor) named “Case 1,” a naval aviation term for clear weather conditions.
