The Cinnamon Whisky That Started as a '80s Canadian Experiment
Fireball was developed in Canada in the mid-1980s by Seagram as a Dr. McGillicuddy's flavor, then relaunched by Sazerac — and grew from a bartender favorite into one of the top-selling whisky-related brands in the US. The FireKeg, launched in fall 2021, takes the "tastes like heaven, burns like hell" formula to its logical extreme: one drum that pours a whole party.

Tasting Notes
Nose: bold cinnamon spice with subtle whisky underneath. Palate: fiery, intense cinnamon balanced by a smooth, slightly sweet whisky base. Finish: warm, lingering, and sweet — the cinnamon kick fading into a smooth, sweet close. Best served ice-cold.
How to Enjoy
Chill it and shoot it — that's the Fireball ritual. The three spouts on the FireKeg mean nobody waits. It also works as a warming float in apple cider or mixed into cola for a spicy-sweet highball.
