Rock Town Distillery netted a few more awards for its already healthy collection. At the 2022 San Francisco Spirits Competition, the Little Rock-based distillery took home two Double Golds for its Craft Cordials Elderflower Liqueur and Arkansas Vodka; and three Golds for its Arkansas Bourbon Whiskey, Craft Cordials Ginger Beer Liqueur and Cognac Cask Finished Single Malt Whiskey. The competition is the second oldest spirit competition in the world.
