Tastes Like Heaven, Burns Like Hell
Fireball's own slogan says it plainly. Per the brand, the recipe is whisky plus natural cinnamon flavor, with the rest of the formula proprietary — a combination that turned a cinnamon whisky into one of the best-known shots in the world, served freezer-cold in bars everywhere. The brand traces its roots to Canada and is made today at multiple distilleries in the US and Canada under Sazerac. Find it on the Fireball vendor page and among the party pours in our whisky collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: bold, spicy cinnamon first, then clean whisky heat — a smooth start and a hot, fiery finish. Sweetness supports the cinnamon without covering the burn.
How to Enjoy
Serve it the house way — straight from the freezer as a shot. It also brings the heat to a Fireball-and-cider serve, a cinnamon-spiked lemonade, or a boilermaker. More shot-ready bottles live in our spirits collection.
