cinnamon whiskey

Fiery bark liquor

Cinnamon whiskey is whiskey flavored with cinnamon, typically sweet and spicy with a burning finish.

Fireball is the dominant brand, popular as a shot or party drink.

The category occupies a lowbrow niche—beloved by college students and bargoers, dismissed by whiskey purists: We did way too many cinnamon whiskey shots last night.
