ROCK TOWN BRINGS HOME 2 GOLDS
AT THE 2022 SAN FRANCISCO WORLD SPIRITS COMPETITION

Little Rock, Arkansas – (April 12, 2022) – Rock Town Distillery is pleased to announce its Arkansas Bourbon Whiskey and Cognac Cask Finished Single Malt Whiskey each received a prestigious gold medal.

“Winning Gold medals is absolutely incredible,” said distillery founder and head distiller Phil Brandon. “To win Gold is a marvelous achievement and we’re very proud of what our team has accomplished”

ABOUT THE COMPEITION
Founded in 2000 by James Beard Award-winning drinks sage Anthony Dias Blue, the SFWSC is one of the spirits industry’s most influential competitions. Throughout the highly controlled blind tastings, the experienced judging panels taste every product to decide if it is medal-worthy. Judges do not receive any information on producer or price point, ensuring each spirit is judged fairly, equally, and without bias.

While tasting, judges evaluate each product on an individual basis—not compared to other entries in the flight. During this stage, judges determine which entries are worthy of a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal. Entries that receive a Gold medal from all judges on a panel earn a Double Gold award.
