#1. Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey

Fireball Cinnamon whiskey is a Canadian whiskey that combines sweeteners and cinnamon flavoring; Sazerac Company makes it. Its taste matches the candy with a very similar name, “Atomic Fireball” candy. It is bottled at 33 percent ABV and bottled at 66.

It has a tagline that says, “Tastes Like Heaven, Burns Like Hell.” There are notes of maple and sugar to balance the whiskey too.

The Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire has 35 percent ABV and is bottled at 70 Proof. It is advertised as “cinnamon liqueur blended with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.”

Tennessee Fire by Jack Daniel is among the first cinnamon liqueur. The nose of this cinnamon whiskey gives aromas of atomic fireballs, sweet candy red hots, hot tamales.

Once the strong flavor of cinnamon fades away, you will feel sugar and vanilla on the palate.
