Fireball Cinnamon Whisky

Review transfer from Barreled from April 2017. I figured it's finally time to do a review of Fireball. A "Whiskey with natural cinnamon flavor" according to the 50ml miniature bottle I have. This NAS whiskey is 33% ABV. I do believe it is chill filtered and has colorant added. Wow! Incredible cinnamon on the nose. Red Hot candies, a big ol cinnamon stick shoved up your nose. There is some elegant oak behind it once you get acclimated to the big cinnamon. Hints of maple syrup, pine, roasted nuts, and some unexpected mango and pineapple. It's really a wonderful nose worth spending all day on. The palate is even better! Like there's a party in my mouth and everyone just celebrated the New Year. Big Red gum, Atomic Jaw Breakers are the dominate notes, but my oh my there is so much more! Blackberries, figs, vanilla cake, chocolate cake, red velvet cake, Pop Rocks with Coke. Unbelievable! The finish of everlasting and full of oak and cinnamon. Can't get enough What can I say? It's just one of those whiskies that redefines what it is to be a whiskey. Oh and the best part is... April Fools!! But seriously, this stuff is horrible and should be avoided unless you are tailgating or at a party with a bunch of 22 years olds, which should also be avoided. It's ridiculously sweet and full of artificial cinnamon flavoring with none of the notes I mentioned. 1 star
