The tours of the distillery are informative. The liquors are high quality, and the gin is among the best I have ever tasted. The bourbon is diamond in the rough - aging takes some time and the "young bourbon" that has been released has only marginally benefited from small cask aging in the past, but recent batches are starting to get notice. Some beverage scores/awards 93 * Brandons Vodka (#2 Vodka, 2011 NY Ultimate Spirits Comp.) 91 * Arkansas Lightning un-aged whiskey (Gold, 2011 BTI Chicago) 91 * Hickory Smoked Whiskey (Gold, 2013 BTI Chicago) 90 * Arkansas Young Bourbon (Double Gold, 2013 SF Spirits Comp.) 87 * Brandons Gin * (Double Gold, 2011 SF Spirits Comp.) NA * Rock Town Vodka (Silver, 2013 SF Spirits Comp.) OTHER PRODUCTS: Apple Pie Lightning (40 proof) Lightning Hot (66 proof) Riverboat Rum Rye Whiskey (coming soon - they are growing their own rye crop)

Have done the tour several times and have even participated in a bottling event. The booze are all top shelf, every last bit of it. Their gin is to die for. Theyve won so many awards nationwide, definitely worth a taste. Every time weve taken a tour we have had knowledgeable and welcoming guides. It is a tiny facility, but the employees are engaging and know the entire process, from grain to shelf. I highly recommend taking the time to check out Arkansass first legal distillery.

My girlfriend got us tickets to the tour for my birthday. We had never done a distillery tour before and Im glad we did. They explain the process for making the whiskey, show you the different rooms and techniques involved, then (and this was my favorite part) you go back to the bar and taste their different products. The staff was very knowledgeable and great about answering questions about the different whiskeys, gins, and moonshines that they make.

We had a great experience here. It was started by a laid-off IT Engineer who had perhaps the best mid-life crisis ever and founded a micro-distillery. The tour is informative (perhaps a bit brief) and the tasting afterward was fantastic. We were able to sample their entire product line of whiskeys, gins, and vodkas, and ended up purchasing 4 bottles to take home because they were so good. The hostesses were knowledgeable and delightful.

Have not been to the distillery but my friends and i have tried most of their products and were not impressed at all. Not understanding all of these great reviews. Their spirits are not quality product and are extremely overpriced. Saw one of the "bourbons" in a local liquor store for 50 dollars! Shoot, i can by an excellent non-local true bourbon from Kentucky for that price i.e. Blantons, Jeffersons, etc.. Just not worth it

Very informative tour. I knew almost nothing about mashes, distilling, or cooperages, but the owner (and tour guide) was very helpful and answered a lot of customer questions. Its a small setup, but its clean and welcoming. The tasting session was clearly a fan favorite and Ill definitely make Rock Town a permanent part of my liquor cabinet. If I ever find myself in Little Rock again, Ill definitely swing by for another tour.

This is one of the hidden gems of all of Arkansas. A venue that checks all the awesome boxes, and its actually educational, too! Their products are spectacular, and the people are some of the best - not only in the distillery world, but also theyre just really nice. If youre at all a liquor pro, or even if you dont know anything about it but want to set a high benchmark for yourself, this should be a destination.

Great distillery friendly staff .Kelly Gee is a history buff medieval history .relative was in Korean war.Great selection of samples Brandons gin was the best and whiskey samples were great selection also .had unusual gin finished in oak barrel. I bought the Brandons gin and a bottle of Rock Town Arkansas whiskey.very reasonable price for small craft distillery good to support local economy.

Brooke is a rude, unfriendly, no customer service having person. She made myself and my two friends feel very unwelcomed as if we werent supposed to be there. i will never return or purchase any of their products anywhere. I will also let everyone I know, know how she made us feel. And I must make note that we are all black and everyone who was there was white.

Took the tour of the distillery with my family. It was awesome! It was a good time. We learned a lot and we really enjoyed trying all of the different drinks that Rock Town has distilled. Our tour guides were pretty freakin awesome!

I took the tour along with several of my warrant brotes last Saturday. Staff went above & beyond the call when they learned we were military. Stopping by before I leave to take some back to TN. A MUST-SEE while in Little Rock.
