An unforgettable evening of bourbon, business, and community at The Tillery in Owings Mills. Hosted by TheBourbonClub.us and sponsored by David S. Brown Enterprises and the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce, this exclusive tasting event celebrated craftsmanship, connection, and the power of shared experiences.
There’s something timeless about bourbon.
It’s not just the craftsmanship behind every barrel—it’s the way a shared pour brings people together.
On October 9th, 2025, that spirit of connection filled the air at The Tillery, located at Metro Centre Owings Mills, during an exclusive Bourbon Tasting Event hosted in partnership with the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce, David S. Brown Enterprises, and TheBourbonClub.us.
The evening was a masterclass in blending community and sophistication.
An experience that perfectly captured what David S. Brown stands for: elevating spaces, strengthening relationships, and bringing professionals together in meaningful ways.
A Night to Remember at The Tillery
From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted with the warm glow of candlelight reflecting off bourbon glasses and the inviting hum of conversation.
Over 50 attendees filled The Tillery’s modern, upscale dining space; many were Greater Baltimore Chamber members, local business leaders, and David S. Brown commercial tenants from our office and retail communities.
Hosted by TheBourbonClub.us, the event guided guests through a curated tasting journey featuring select bourbons with distinct histories, profiles, and flavor notes.
The atmosphere was lively yet intimate—exactly the type of environment that encourages new introductions and lasting connections.
The Highlight Pour: Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select
While every pour told its own story, the undeniable star of the evening was the Distillers Select Bourbon by Woodford Reserve—a special barrel curated exclusively by The Tillery and not commercially available anywhere else.
This limited-edition bourbon offered guests a rare opportunity to savor something truly unique: rich caramel undertones, hints of toasted oak, and a velvety finish that lingered long after the last sip.
The bourbon’s exclusivity mirrored The Tillery’s dedication to crafting one-of-a-kind experiences for the local community. Each bottle served was a reminder that great moments are built not only on quality but on intentionality—something both The Tillery and David S. Brown Enterprises take pride in cultivating across every property, partnership, and event.
Community, Conversation, and Collaboration
Events like this one go far beyond the drink menu—they serve as a platform for networking, business development, and genuine relationship building.
The Bourbon Tasting was an opportunity for professionals from various industries to meet, share ideas, and celebrate Baltimore County’s thriving business community.
Among the crowd were business owners from Owings Mills, local entrepreneurs, and representatives from several David S. Brown properties. Many attendees expressed appreciation for how the event brought together such a diverse mix of people, bridging connections across industries that might not otherwise have crossed paths.
Our VP of Office Leasing, Brent Mangum represented David S. Brown Enterprises, while the company’s marketing team member, Ashley Effinger assisted with event coordination and branding helping to ensure that every detail reflected the company’s commitment to excellence and hospitality.
