Dark, juicy black cherry at a bold 99 proof, made for shots and fruity mixers.
What it is
99 Brand Black Cherry Schnapps is a flavored schnapps bottled at 99 proof (49.5% ABV) in a 750 ml bottle. The 99 range is known for bold, high-proof flavor, and the same liquid is sold in the popular 50 ml minis.
Where and how it's made
- Produced in the United States by the Sazerac Company, the owner of the 99 Brand line
- Made from neutral grain spirit blended with black cherry flavor and sweetener
- Bottled at 99 proof, much stronger than most schnapps, which usually sit between 30 and 50 proof
Tasting notes
- Nose: black cherry and cherry candy
- Palate: sweet, deep cherry with a hot, strong-spirit kick
- Finish: medium length, with lingering cherry sweetness
Serving and pairing
Pour chilled as a shot, mix with cola for a cherry-cola highball, or add a splash to lemonade. Pairs with chocolate brownies, cheesecake or barbecue.
