Fire No. 32: A Firefighter's Cinnamon Moonshine
Tim Smith isn't just a third-generation moonshiner — he's a volunteer fire chief in his hometown of Climax, Virginia, and Fire No. 32 is his tribute to firefighters nationwide. It starts with the same original pot-distilled recipe behind his classic Climax Moonshine, then layers on hot cinnamon spice until it's bold, hot, and smooth. At 80 proof it brings real cinnamon heat without the syrupy bite of lighter cinnamon liqueurs — a true spiced American white spirit with a story behind it.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Hot cinnamon with a hint of vanilla. Palate: Bold, intense cinnamon over the clean corn-whiskey base, touched with vanilla sweetness. Finish: Smooth and warm, with lingering cinnamon heat. (Flavor consensus across retailer and brand descriptions.)
How to Enjoy
Serve it chilled as a fiery shot — the classic move — or pour it into hot apple cider for a campfire-warm fall drink. Behind the bar it swaps into any recipe calling for cinnamon liqueur at a higher, drier proof: try it in a cinnamon Old Fashioned, a spiked hot toddy, or mixed with cola over ice for an easy highball with real kick.
