Review: Fireball Cinnamon Whisky

Fireball Whisky 003Red Hot Whisky with natural cinnamon flavor

66 Proof / 33% alcohol

Suggested Retail Price: $19 to $21 range

Availability: United States nationwide and a sprinkling of other countries

Tasting Notes

Color: Dark gold, though the bottle makes this appear to have reddish hints

Aroma: Sweet cinnamon. Red Hot candies before the real burn sets in on the tongue

Tasted Neat: Just like candy. Liquid Red Hots is the best way to describe this. Rather nice. Burn definitely there. Two or three sips and the tongue and throat begin to burn, but fades quickly, making the taste a pleasant experience. Heated warmth.

Mouth Feel: Not too thick and syrupy, though sweet. Lower end of medium roll over the tongue

Comparable Spirit: More cinnamon flavor than Early Times Fire Eater, but in the same ballpark. Perhaps closer to Hot Damn without the sticky syrup sweetness and coloring.

Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails:

Seems mostly usable for quick shots, but butterscotch schnapps, rum or vanilla vodka would also contribute to a pleasantly warming drink.

Chocolate Covered Caramel Sensation

Chocolate cocktails are quite popular year round, but add a bit of warmth to the soul during winter months. Chocolaty goodness laced with caramel add decadence to Happy Hour.
