    Give 270 hosts silent auction for limited-edition Final Flight Reserve

    Give 270 is hosting a silent auction for select numbered bottles of the newly-released, limited edition bourbon line Final Flight Reserve.

    North Carolina-based nonprofit Allies for Cherry Point’s Tomorrow (ACT) recently announced the release of the bourbon, which commemorates the retirement of the legendary AV-8B II Harrier fleet. The release coincides with the June 3 sundowning ceremony for the fleet with Marine Attack Squadron 223 at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock, North Carolina, closing a remarkable, 55-year chapter in aviation history.

    Finished with toasted oak staves and bottled at 108 proof, this carefully selected bourbon is limited to just 1,500 bottles. The release is the result of a partnership between ACT, Bespoken Spirits in Lexington, Kentucky and Give 270.

    “For 55 years, the AV-8B Harrier II has represented innovation, readiness and the unwavering dedication of the Marines who served alongside it,” said Havelock Mayor and ACT President Will Lewis. “Final Flight Reserve is a tribute to that legacy and an opportunity to commemorate the end of an extraordinary era in military aviation.”

    Each numbered bottle in the silent auction tells part of the Harrier story by honoring historic squadrons, milestones and the legacy of the aircraft. To bid, click here.

    Proceeds from the silent auction benefit ACT and its mission to support MCAS Cherry Point’s vital role in national defense and regional prosperity through advocacy, partnership and community engagement. To learn more, visit alliesforcherrypoint.com.

    Supporting the Arts: Give 270 Sponsors Mulberry Players’ Debut

    Give 270 was proud to sponsor the debut performance from local theatre the Mulberry Players on Friday, April 24 at the House on Helm in Elizabethtown. The Mulberry Players is a new community theatre expanding the arts in Hardin County through immersive performances, collaboration, and opportunities for new and professional artists—all while giving back to the community.

    For their debut, the theatre hosted “Death on the Downs,” a charitable, immersive murder mystery experience where every guest becomes part of the story. We were proud to donate bourbon for the event’s silent auction, with all proceeds benefiting Nolin River Wildlife, helping protect and rehabilitate the natural beauty of our Kentucky community.
