Huntsville, Arkansas \u00b7 Madison County<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small-batch spirits from the Arkansas Ozarks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Falling Rock Distillery is a small Huntsville operation owned and operated by Carol and Dirck Donson. Its public identity centers on practical craft distilling, an unusual oat whiskey, and its role as the Arkansas production partner for RG Macon & Carson Apple Brandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a large destination distillery with heavily promoted public hours. It is better understood as a quiet Ozarks production facility with a distinctive place in Arkansas spirits history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An understated Arkansas producer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quiet distillery with an unusual specialty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Falling Rock maintains a comparatively small public profile. Its significance comes less from a large visitor center or national marketing campaign and more from the spirits associated with the Huntsville facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distillery\u2019s oat whiskey is especially noteworthy. Oats are far less common in American whiskey production than corn, rye, wheat or malted barley, giving Falling Rock a point of distinction within Arkansas\u2019s craft-spirits community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distillery\u2019s best-documented partnership is its work with the revived RG Macon & Carson brand, which identifies Falling Rock as the producer of its Arkansas apple brandy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
