Rock Town La Harpe Low Rye Cask Strength Bourbon

We love Rock Town so much that they became the first distillery ever to grace a Blind Barrels lineup twice, and this bottle is exactly why. La Harpe Low Rye Cask Strength is one of those bourbons that reminds you barrel proof doesn't have to mean overpowering. It is big, bold, and packed with flavor, but it never loses its balance. Rock Town has built a reputation for producing outstanding whiskey in Arkansas, and every time we taste one of their releases, they reinforce why they're one of our favorite craft distilleries in the country.

On the nose, you'll find caramel, vanilla, honey, toasted oak, and warm baking spices. The first sip delivers rich brown sugar, toffee, cinnamon, roasted nuts, and just a touch of citrus before finishing with lingering oak, sweet spice, and caramelized sugar. The low-rye mashbill gives this bourbon a softer, sweeter personality than many cask-strength releases while still offering enough spice to keep every sip interesting. If you've never explored what Rock Town is doing, this is a fantastic place to start. If you already know them, you'll understand exactly why we couldn't wait to bring them back for an encore.
