The arrival of a 250-gallon copper pot still marks the opening of Rock Town Distillery, a 15,000-SF distillery and warehouse at 1216 E. Sixth St. near Heifer International in Little Rock.

The still will allow Rock Town Distillery to begin production of handmade premium small batch distilled spirits -- Brandon's Vodka and Brandon's Gin -- and to start aging Brandon's Bourbon. Each will be made from Arkansas grains.

Phil Brandon of Little Rock is the founder and president of the distillery. 

Brandon’s products should be found in bars, restaurants and liquor stores throughout Arkansas by September. Glazer's of Arkansas, the state’s largest wine and spirits wholesaler, will be its distributor. The spirits will be sold in 750ml bottles.
