Rock Town Distillery Arkansas

Founded by Phil Brandon in 2010, there hadn’t been a legal distillery in central Arkansas in decades, Pre-prohibition was probably the last time legal distilling was carried out, that was until Phil Brandon lost his job.

The Rock Town Distillery was created with one mission. To make sure every possible element used to make Rock Town’s spirits came from Arkansas. From the soft, red winter wheat for the vodka and gin. To the charred, white-oak barrels that store the bourbon. Carefully crafting the vodka, gin, and bourbon in small batches. Every bottle is hand-labelled, the goal is to ensure the highest quality spirits and to never cut corners.

STILLHOUSE® DISTLLERY
Located in historic Culpeper, Virginia. The Culpeper area was a highly prized position for both Union and Confederate troops during the American Civil War, and witnessed more troop movements than any location in the nation.

On the estate, they grow their own corn, harvest it, store it and grind it to make the corn mash for their whiskey.  In addition to the 120 acres of estate-grown corn, the property also features a private limestone reservoir. The distillery houses the genuine solid copper pot still, which was constructed in 1930, three years before the end of Prohibition


Original MOONSHINE ® Clear Corn Whiskey
Hand-crafted from 100% estate-grown corn and distilled four times in a Prohibition-era copper pot still — in the same authentic tradition that moonshine has been made for hundreds of years.
At 80 proof, the all-natural, gluten-free proprietary recipe is charcoal-filtered for the highest purity, quality and taste.
A truly versatile spirit, shine can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks  and in a wide range of mixed cocktails.

Pumpkin Spice Moonshine

As the weather begins to get crisper, the guys at Corsair Artisans  figured you should have a spirit specially designed to keep you warm, so they created Pumpkin Spice Moonshine.

This unusual white dog whiskey is inspired by pumpkin ales. First pot distil malted barley and malted wheat to make a sweet malt whiskey. Next they load the pot still’s vapour basket with ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and pumpkin, then redistill the whiskey to infuse and marry all the flavours.

There you have Pumpkin pie in a glass!!

Pumpkin Spice Moonshine Tasting Notes

Pie spices come forward first followed by the full sweet flavour of the pumpkin and malt whiskey. Great in a Manhattan.

American Micro Whiskey Distillers

A micro-distillery is a small, often referred to as “Artisan” 'boutique' or “craft“, distillery. While the term is most commonly used in the United States, micro-distilleries have been established in Europe, However the pages on my wwww.whiskymerchants.co.uk website concentrates on the USA and Canada whisky producers

Due to the period of Prohibition in the United States most small distilleries were forced out of business, leaving only the corporate dominated mega-distilleries to resume operation when Prohibition was repealed.

The popularity of micro-distilling spirits is expanding consistently, with many micro-breweries and small wineries establishing distilleries within the scope of their brewing or winemaking operations.

California and Oregon has experienced the highest number of micro-distillery openings as these are generally more relaxed states.

All-thought the majority of these micro distillers are involved in the production of Aquavit, cognac, fruit based spirits, gin and vodka because of the straight to bottle production, some have produced or are producing whisky and moonshine
