Blackland Distillery

Blackland Distillery is the Fort Worth, Texas craft spirits operation founded in 2017 by Markus Kypreos in the city's emerging Foundry District — and one of the architecturally most distinctive craft distillery destinations in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Located at 2616 Weisenberger Street in the Near Southside / Foundry District (the converted-industrial neighborhood that's become Fort Worth's primary craft-food-and-beverage corridor over the past decade), Blackland occupies a meticulously restored historic warehouse space that combines the working distillery, an on-site cocktail bar and event space, and a small retail program into a single integrated visitor experience.

The Blackland editorial identity references the Blackland Prairie ecological region of North Texas — the dark-soil agricultural plain that extends from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex south toward Austin and historically anchored one of the most productive grain-and-cotton growing regions in the antebellum and post-Civil War American South. The Blackland Prairie's soil chemistry produces wheat and grain with meaningfully different flavor profiles than the Plains-or-Midwest commodity grain that anchors most American whiskey production, and Blackland's commitment to sourcing primarily from the Blackland Prairie region gives the brand a genuinely regional Texas grain-to-glass production identity.

The product range covers Blackland Texas Bourbon Whiskey (the flagship — small-batch bourbon distilled from the Blackland Prairie regional grain), Blackland Single Malt Whiskey (one of the broader American Single Malt category producers, distilled from 100% Texas malted barley), Blackland Texas Rye Whiskey, Blackland Vodka (built around the Blackland Prairie wheat sourcing), Blackland Gin (a botanical-forward gin built around Texas Hill Country foraged botanicals), and a rotating range of seasonal and limited bottlings. The Single Malt program in particular has built regional Texas competition recognition that positions Blackland alongside Andalusia and Balcones in the top tier of Texas single malt production.

The Fort Worth visitor experience makes Blackland one of the most-trafficked craft-distillery destinations in the broader Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The Weisenberger Street location anchors the Foundry District alongside the surrounding restaurant cluster (the broader Foundry District has become one of the most concentrated craft-food-and-beverage zones in any Texas city), with on-site cocktail programming, distillery tours, and an active event-space rental program. For DFW-area visitors building a craft-spirits day that combines downtown Fort Worth with the Foundry District, Blackland is the natural destination anchor of the entire neighborhood.
