Blackland Distillery and Bowie House, Auberge Resorts Collection, are giving Fort Worth a new reason to toast local craft. The two neighbors have teamed up to release Bowie House Texas Whiskey — a bespoke, small-batch blend available exclusively to hotel guests.
The whiskey is a careful mix of Blackland’s yet-to-be-released 6-Year Texas Straight Bloody Butcher Corn Whiskey, 4-Year Texas Straight Rye, and 4-Year Texas Straight Triticale, bottled at 95 proof. Markus Kypreos, Blackland’s owner, worked alongside master distiller Ezra Cox and the Bowie House hospitality team to create a spirit that mirrors both the refined warmth of the hotel and the character of the Blackland Prairie.
“Partnering with Blackland Distillery to craft an exclusive whiskey for Bowie House is a celebration of Fort Worth’s heritage and the artisans shaping its future,” says Gaylord Lamy, general manager of Bowie House. “It’s a singular taste of place our guests can’t experience anywhere else.”
Blackland Distillery’s approach is as local as it gets. Every grain comes from Texas, produced in partnership with TexMalt, and sourced from the fertile Blackland Prairie that stretches from San Antonio to North Texas. This connection to the land ensures that every bottle reflects the region’s agricultural richness and heritage.
“From the beginning, this blend was about collaboration,” Kypreos says. “Layering corn, rye, and triticale gave us depth, texture, and balance — a whiskey that feels elevated, intentional, and rooted in the Blackland Prairie.”
Guests at Bowie House can enjoy the whiskey in the signature Bowie House Old Fashioned, or sip it neat or on the rocks. Matthew Rager, the hotel’s bar manager, highlights its complexity: “Rich red fruit and a creamy mouthfeel form the foundation, balanced by baking spice, crisp oak, and a touch of black pepper. It’s exceptional in any form.”
Bowie House Texas Whiskey is available only at the hotel, featured throughout the property and its cocktail program — a true taste of Fort Worth crafted by neighbors who know the land, the craft, and the art of hospitality.
