Uncompromising Craftsmanship and Origin

The foundation of No. 9 Blanco High Proof lies in meticulous agave selection and precise distillation methods. By allowing the natural sweetness and spice of the plant to take center stage, this spirit honors traditional techniques while pushing modern boundaries.

Sourcing Fully Matured Blue Agave

Great spirits begin in the field. Only fully matured agave plants—harvested at the exact moment of peak sugar concentration—are selected for No. 9 Blanco.

• Rich Volcanic Soils: Grown in mineral-dense terrain that yields distinct earthy notes and bright herbal undertones.

• Traditional Cooking: Slow-cooked to convert complex starches into sweet, fermentable sugars while preserving delicate botanical aromas.

• Purity First: Distilled without additives, artificial flavorings, or added sugars to ensure a clean, authentic expression.

The Science of High Proof Bottling

Bottled at a elevated proof point, No. 9 Blanco retains natural essential oils and aroma compounds often lost during standard proofing.

Tasting Profile: A Multi-Sensory Experience

No. 9 Blanco High Proof offers a layered tasting experience that unfolds gradually on the palate.

Dynamic Aromas and Flavor Notes

Nose

Opening with a sharp burst of fresh cut grass, bright lime zest, and cooked agave sweetness. Subtle top notes of white pepper and wet stone add complexity to the aroma.

Palate

The entry is remarkably smooth despite the robust alcohol content. Warm herbal tones wrap around a core of rich roasted agave, followed by hints of green apple, mint, and crushed black pepper.

Finish

Long, warming, and extraordinarily clean. The high-proof intensity fades into a lingering finish marked by sweet agave nectar and a gentle touch of citrus oils.

Elevating Modern Mixology

Standard spirits can get lost behind heavy mixers, but No. 9 Blanco High Proof maintains its distinct personality in any glass. Its higher alcohol content acts as a structural anchor, allowing complex botanical profiles to shine through citrus, bitters, and liqueurs.

• High-Proof Paloma: Pair with fresh grapefruit juice, sparkling water, and a pinch of sea salt for a crisp refresher.

• Elevated Tommy’s Margarita: Combine with fresh lime juice and raw agave nectar to highlight the spirit’s natural sweetness.

• Neat or On the Rocks: Pour over a single large ice sphere to slowly release hidden floral notes as the spirit cools.
