Thank you to today's Moline Rotary guest speaker, Nathan Carroll, General Manager of Mississippi River Distilling Company.

Nathan shared his unique journey from working as a bartender to becoming General Manager of one of the Quad Cities' most successful distilleries. He also provided members with a brief history of Mississippi River Distilling Company and, fittingly on Bourbon Raffle Drawing Day, shared insights into the world of bourbon.

We appreciate Nathan taking the time to speak with our club and giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the growth of a local business that has become a regional success story.

Thank you, Nathan, for an informative and engaging presentation!
