Another Arkansas whiskey store pick has officially landed in Central Arkansas.
CrossRoads Wine & Spirits in Bryant, Arkansas has released a new Rock Town Single Barrel Cask Strength Arkansas Straight Rye Whiskey pick bottled exclusively for the store.
The release continues the growing trend of Arkansas retailers partnering directly with Arkansas distilleries for exclusive single barrel selections. In this case, both the retailer and the distillery are based in Arkansas, making this a fully Arkansas-focused whiskey release.
CrossRoads Wine & Spirits currently lists the bottle for $59.99. The release was hand selected and bottled exclusively for the Bryant retailer.
Rock Town Distillery, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, has become one of the most recognizable whiskey producers in the state and continues to expand its lineup of bourbon and rye whiskey releases throughout Arkansas.
Single barrel rye whiskey releases from Arkansas distilleries remain relatively uncommon compared to bourbon-focused picks, making this release notable for Arkansas whiskey enthusiasts looking for locally produced rye whiskey.
The release also highlights the growing popularity of Arkansas whiskey store picks as local retailers increasingly move beyond national brands and collaborate directly with in-state distilleries.
The bottle is available through CrossRoads Wine & Spirits in Bryant, Arkansas.

Rock Town Distillery was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas, and has become one of the best-known craft distilleries in the state. The distillery produces bourbon, rye whiskey, vodka, gin, and other spirits using Arkansas grain and locally focused production methods.
Arkansas whiskey releases have continued gaining attention in recent years as local distilleries and retailers increasingly collaborate on exclusive barrel picks and limited releases.
CrossRoads Wine & Spirits has also been active with another recent Rock Town single barrel release in Bryant. On May 15, 2026, CrossRoads partnered with Dad’s After Dark for a limited Rock Town Column Still Collection Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey release.
That bourbon was a 5-year-old Rock Town pick bottled at 134 proof, with only 60 bottles available during a special release event that included free on-site bottle engraving. The collaboration involved CrossRoads Wine & Spirits, Dad’s After Dark, and Rock Town Distillery.
