INDEPENDENT STATE, Spirit of Texas

Who else could it have been? No one exemplifies what it means to be a Texan more than the man-cow, the myth, the legend.

With a resume that includes such accolades as Medal of Valor-recipient fighter pilot, world record holder for deepest free dive and a key architect of what would become known as the internet to name a few, Bartholomew (NEVER Bart as many learned the hard way) turned his discerning eye to the world of distilling. And it’s certainly no coincidence that what followed was Texas spirits becoming all the rage.

While his various endeavors took him from elegantly luxurious bars in Monaco to authentic Juke Joints hidden in the farm lands of the Mississippi Delta, Bartholomew never found the spirit that was “Liquid Texas” as he liked to put it.

Well as we all know, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. So Bartholomew took his lifetime of experience and bottled it. The result is his true enduring legacy – A portfolio of spirits that are personified by the man-cow himself… Bold, yet sophisticated. Strong, yet smooth. Just as appropriate at a black-tie gala as on the open plain.

Welcome to the Independent State of Bartholomew T. Steeringer. Enjoy your stay.
