This Nine banded Small Batch whiskey is distilled in Kentucky and bottled in Austin. Texas where it is blended with “limestone-filtered water from the Texas Hill Country”. Aged in charred American oak barrels. It was introduced to the market by Austin Spirits just in time for the Austin City Limits festival in 2014. Its name derives from the Nine banded Small Batch armadillo. Texas’s official state small mammal, as well as a shout out to the Armadillo World Headquarters, a beloved, but defunct music venue in Austin.

Austin, Texas is the home of Nine Banded Whiskey (aka 9 Banded Whiskey), by way of Kentucky, anyway. This is a sourced blend of 3-year-old whiskeys. Cut with the hill country’s famous limestone-heavy water and named in honor of the nine-banded armadillo. Nine-Banded doesn’t provide any breakdown of the whiskeys in this blend. But we know that they’re all sourced from Kentucky. Production is in the process of moving to MGP, however.

This is a soft whiskey despite its higher proof, with ample Cracker Jack on the nose including some peanut character amidst the caramel corn. The palate is highly, surprisingly approachable at full strength. With the popcorn notes of young, corn-heavy spirit almost impossible to get around. The secondary character, what there is of it, doesn’t stray far from expectations, with hints of cola, red rope licorice, and hemp rope a mix of sweet and savory that seems destined for mixing with Coke.
