Rock Town Single Barrel HAZMAT Rum

Rock Town Releases 149.4 Proof Single Barrel Rum — a True HAZMAT Heavyweight

Posted: October 19, 2025
Location: Little Rock, Arkansas

Arkansas’ own Rock Town Distillery has done it again—this time with a powerhouse release that’s bound to set enthusiasts’ hearts (and maybe their tongues) on fire.

Released on October 18th, Rock Town’s newest Single Barrel Rum clocks in at a jaw-dropping 149.4 proof — that’s officially HAZMAT territory (any spirit above 140 proof). This molasses-distilled monster is a Distillery Exclusive, meaning you can only snag a bottle directly from the Little Rock tasting room.

With such high proof and limited supply, this release is sure to vanish fast. The distillery describes it simply:

“This Distillery Exclusive is as tasty as it is limited — so grab a bottle while supplies last!”

Expect a bold, full-bodied rum bursting with deep caramelized sugar, oak spice, and tropical molasses heat. Bottles like this don’t come around often, especially from an Arkansas producer.

Why it matters:
Rock Town continues to push boundaries for craft distilling in the South. While most distilleries shy away from bottling at HAZMAT strength, Rock Town leans into it—showcasing the raw, undiluted power of their stills and Arkansas molasses.

If you’re a fan of barrel-strength spirits or collect high-proof releases, this is one you’ll want to add to the shelf (and handle with respect).
