The Rock Town Story<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distillery that helped restart an Arkansas industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phil Brandon began pursuing the idea of an Arkansas distillery after leaving his corporate career in 2009. Rock Town opened in Little Rock the following year, becoming the state\u2019s first legal distillery to begin operating after Prohibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company built its identity around Arkansas agriculture, local production and a willingness to experiment. Corn and wheat sourced from Arkansas farmers have supported a portfolio that extends well beyond traditional bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Rock Town is both a working distillery and a visitor destination, offering tours, cocktail classes, a tasting room and a full cocktail bar in downtown Little Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Why Rock Town matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rock Town demonstrated that Arkansas-grown grain, Arkansas craftsmanship and creative whiskey production could earn attention far beyond the state\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
