The nose gave us ‘cola cubes and in a painted room’ and ‘smouldering coals in a sweat lodge hung with eucalyptus’. Time brought out sandalwood and nutmeg. The palate had amarena cherry, red cola and molasses, plus pleasant tannic tingles of polished oak, liquorice and black tea, with abundant cinnamon and clove. The reduced nose evoked a vintage automobile shop for one panellist – others reported fresh apple pie, red onion chutney, smoky bacon, rum punch and orange oil. The palate was now wonderfully tasty – fruity jam and cherry brandy, apple cider, dark chocolate, camp coffee syrup and overcooked banana from the campfire. The mashbill was 82% Arkansas corn, 9% Arkansas wheat & 9% malted barley.

About Rock Town Distillery

Rock Town Distillery is proud to call Little Rock home and source ingredients from farmers across Arkansas. Phil Brandon’s goal for Rock Town was to make an affordable product using all-natural ingredients that could compete against any top-shelf competitor in the nation. That is precisely what Rock Town has done. In 2009, Phil Brandon left his corporate job in the pursuit of his passion, starting a distillery. Thus the phrase ‘Our Passion Is Our Spirit’ was born, and in 2010 Rock Town Distillery found its home in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Rock Town also has a full bar offering craft cocktails using Rock Town's award winning spirits.
