Super cool distillery with a chic interior and inventive cocktails. We had a great time trying a variety of drinks on a fun December Saturday, with everything being tasty and service congenial. Absolutely would recommend!

I had a wonderful time touring and tasting here! I learned about their brand after relocating to the DFW area a few months before the pandemic in late 2019. Their Brown Sugar Pecan blend, my favorite, is sold locally and I had to find out more about how it's made. I finally took my best friend on the tour and learned that they make not only bourbon and whisky but vodka and gin here! The tasting room is intimate and opulent and the cocktails are phenomenal! The added bonus was the small desserts they offered! I had the Salted Caramel Cheesecake with my pecan bourbon, and took a key lime slice and a few extra bottles for the road! I will definitely be returning! I highly recommend treating yourself to an experience here!

When i first moved to texas, i rented an airbnb right down the street from this place. I'm a bit disappointed, i didn't take advantage of the walking distance to this bar. sometimes, this place gets really packed and other nights, its not too busy. However, i know you can make reservations online to ensure you get a spot at the bar. There are a few booth seats, and about 10 or so seats around the bar. i love the variety of drinks here, and the bourbon by itself is also really good. Tried the dreamsicle fizz, texpresso yourself... and both are very different but good. I think these two are the most popular drinks.On a different occasion i also tried the texas pecan brown sugar bourbon, and drinking that neat was very delicious. it may be a bit sweet for some folks.They also serve simple food, like hummus, olive & nuts and a meat/cheese plate. Service was quick and friendly.

Very cool vibe here. The staff was fantastic and bourbon matched them. I only tried the flights, but I bought a bottle as soon as I got home. I will be returning every trip to the DFW.

A friend visited in Australia and gifted us the Texas Pecan Brown Sugar Bourbon from Blackland Distillery, which we loved so much that when we came to the US on holidays we made sure we visited the distillery. The staff were amazing, we learnt about the history of bourbon in the USA and the legacy of the distillery and of course, bought a few bottles to take home. I would highly recommend the tour as well as just dropping past the tasting room. I can’t wait to come back!

I'm proud to say Blackland is our local bar/distillery. Drinks are delicious — specialty, local, and made with homemade ingredients. Staff is nice, and the ambiance is fabulous. 10/10 bring family and friends here.

Good cocktails but the tasting room is way too small. Reservations are probably recommended if you don’t want to sit at the terribly designed wall bench thing. They did eventually move us to a booth so we stayed for another round. Not sure I would generally recommend stopping in unless you know its not too busy.
A+ tour hosted by the funny, quirky, and well-versed Brian (Bryan?). Great value for the money - you get a cocktail at the beginning and then a flight of their vodka, gin, bourbon, rye whiskey, and pecan bourbon at the end. Fun to learn about the marketing vs reality of the liquor making process and ask questions to a knowledgeable distiller. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Such a nice environment with incredibly crafted drinks! The interior is well designed with a variety of seating options; booths, tables & bar. The bartender and host were so nice and helpful. The drinks were amazing! I chose a build you own gin & tonic and it was delicious. I highly recommend coming here for drinks!

I went for a tour of the distillery with friends today--June in Texas in record breaking heat. The tour was informative but in non-climate controlled areas where we stood for 20-30 minutes in two separate areas. A few locations were "air conditioned" but they only turn the air down when they're holding tours so it wasn't very cool in those locations either. No chairs, no water--well only one glass we received at reception. No additional water provided in the 85 degree plus locations we stood around in. I was fascinated by the tour but really distracted by all the standing around in the heat with very minimal hospitality. When we got back into the bar for the tasting portion, we had to ask for more water twice. Drinks were great. Service and hospitality, not so much. Lacking in basic hospitality skills. Give your guests water and keep them moving, or chairs if you'll be in one spot for more than 20 minutes. No one wants to stand around in this heat.

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour and tasting experience. The gentleman that gave the tour was very welcoming, knowledgeable and funny! Our cocktail the Dreamsicle Fizz was very tasty! Loved the TEXAS PECAN BROWN SUGAR BOURBON and bought a bottle to take home. The presentation of the tastings were great and can’t say enough about how friendly and engaging the staff was with everyone! To top it off the place is stunning inside! Highly recommend trying it out!

Nice comfy, quiet and dark atmosphere. Great service. We tried the experimental flight of gin, rye and bourbons. The 100 proof rye was fantastic.
