Nine Banded Whiskey was founded by a group of friends standing around a kitchen table one night in South Austin. We asked ourselves that night... Why isnt there a local whiskey that keeps up with Austins lifestyle? A great tasting, great value whiskey thats focused on the customer and that promotes everything amazing about our modern city while honoring its history? We set out to make a whiskey that’s as good as it gets without any pretense. A whiskey that tastes like nothing other than Damn. Good. Whiskey. We add limestone filtered water, sourced directly from an ancient spring in the Texas Hill Country. It’s smooth. It’s real. It doesn’t taste like anything else because it can’t be made anywhere else. We don’t care how you drink it, we just care that you enjoy it. Drink like you’re from here.
