Fireball is made with Canadian whisky and natural cinnamon flavours. It's certainly very cinnamony, and it's not too sweet, which is a plus. A very popular shot drink on the other side of the pond, Fireball was awarded 87 points from the Beverage Testing Institute, and a Silver Medal from the International Review of Spirits. A mixture of intense sweet cinnamon at the front, with subtle sour cinnamon at the back. A whack of sweet cinnamon at first, with the spicy burn slowly building, though not reaching a level I would describe as ‘burning like hell’. The intensity slowly drops, leaving a refreshing, almost menthol-like taste at the back. Incredibly cinnamony, this has no resemblance to flavours associated with Canadian whisky. This is a drink for cinnamon lovers.
