Candy Heat from the Legends Series
Steven Tickle comes from the Danville, Virginia moonshining tradition — he learned on a homemade ten-gallon still as a kid, and says moonshining "gets in your blood." His Dynamite Cinnamon is a family-style Virginia recipe brought through Sugarlands' Legends Series: not a hot cinnamon whiskey, but a sweet cinnamon-candy moonshine — think Red Hots in a jar — with a warming spicy finish. That is what won it Silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Try more Sugarlands moonshines and American whiskey at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Per Wooden Cork: nose of sweet, vibrant cinnamon candy — bright and inviting; palate of true cinnamon-candy sweetness before the heat arrives; an exhilarating spicy finish — the "Dynamite." CaskCartel calls it "candy coated hot coal": sweet with a hint of spice, then a smooth, spicy kick.
How to Enjoy
Best as a chilled shot or on the rocks. It also shines in holiday cocktails and pairs beautifully with apple, vanilla, chocolate, ginger and peach — try it in a hot apple cider.
