Some cocktails require a list of ingredients.
This one only needs a glass and a cube.

Happy World Cocktail Day from BENDT Distilling Co.

Our Witherspoon Whiskey Old Fashioned is crafted the way a classic Old Fashioned should be - grain-to-glass Texas whiskey, a touch of sugar, a few drops of bitters, and citrus peel notes already perfectly built into every bottle. No mixing. No measuring. No guessing.

Simply pour over ice and enjoy. Garnish only if you please.

However you’re ending your day, this is cocktail hour made easy, and without sacrificing quality.

Cheers to keeping it simple. 🥃

Pick up a bottle of Witherspoon Whiskey Old Fashioned - Classic or Texas Pecan - at your local north Texas liquor store, or visit us in Old Town Lewisville and take a bottle home.

Some barrels take time.
This one has earned it.

Agave Barrel 3619 has been sampled, rested, revisited, and held back until there was no question - it’s ready.

Aged just over 4 1/2 years, this BENDT-made craft agave spirit delivers richness, structure, and balance that rivals anything in its class. It may not technically be Tequila by name, but it is unmistakably in its league.

Come by for a sample, pick up a bottle to sip through the weekend, and get your supplies in order for a Cinco de Mayo to remember. ¡Salud! 🥃

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that sustainability isn’t just a statement, it’s a practice. 🌎

Each year at BENDT, we take time to service and clean our rooftop solar panels. It’s a seemingly simple act, but one that makes a measurable difference. The shift in energy output before and after is always striking - a clear reminder that even the smallest maintenance can have meaningful impact.

It’s easy to overlook something that’s quietly doing its job day after day. But when we give it the attention it deserves, the results speak for themselves. It’s not about perfection. It’s about intention.

Cheers to Texas Whiskey, powered by the Texas sun. 🥃😎

Solar power generation at BENDT:
🔴Month prior to 2026 maintenance: 1.21 MWh
✅Month following 2026 maintenance: 6.66 MWh

🚨 OFFICIAL RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

For the first time ever, we are proud (and slightly concerned) to introduce:

UNBENDT UBER HAZMAT – 199 PROOF

You asked for hazmat.
You wanted hotter.
You said, “Can you go higher?”

We said… fine.

Clocking in at an earth-scorching 199 proof, this ultra-limited release is our most aggressive barrel-strength expression ever produced. Distilled, aged, and apparently forged in fire, this whiskey pushes the limits of science, good judgment, and possibly insurance coverage.

Tasting notes include:
🔥 Charred oak
🔥 Caramelized sugar
🔥 Regret
🔥 Immediate warmth

Extremely limited. Extremely flammable. Extremely not for the faint of heart.

Pre-orders open now.

👉 Secure your bottle here:
https://bendtdistillingco.com/199-proof-hazmat-4126

Release date: April 1
Limit: 1 bottle per brave soul
Hazmat suit not included.
