Jammy blackberry at a bold 99 proof, for shots, sours and summer punches.
What it is
99 Brand BlackBerry 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 blackberry flavor and sweetener
- Bottled at 99 proof, much stronger than most schnapps, which usually sit between 30 and 50 proof
Tasting notes
- Nose: ripe blackberry and berry jam
- Palate: sweet and slightly tart blackberry with plenty of warmth
- Finish: short and fruity, with a jammy finish
Serving and pairing
Serve chilled as a shot, shake with lemon for a blackberry sour, or stir into sangria or iced tea. Good with goat cheese, berry tarts or grilled chicken.
