Description

Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Liqueur is the unmistakable fiery spirit that combines smooth Canadian whisky character with an intense kick of sweet cinnamon spice. Bold, warming, and instantly recognisable, Fireball has grown from a Canadian creation into one of the world’s most famous whisky liqueurs.

The story of Fireball began in Canada during the 1980s, originally created as part of the Dr. McGillicuddy’s range of flavoured spirits. Inspired by the idea of a drink that could bring warmth during freezing Canadian winters, it blended whisky with sweet cinnamon heat to create something completely different.

After becoming part of the Sazerac portfolio, Fireball was relaunched with its own identity — including the now-famous fire-breathing dragon branding. Its bold flavour, fun personality, and popularity as an ice-cold serve helped transform it from a niche Canadian spirit into a global phenomenon.

Although often called a whisky, Fireball is officially a whisky-based liqueur. Bottled at 33% ABV, it combines Canadian whisky with cinnamon flavour and sweetness, creating a smoother, sweeter, and more approachable style than traditional whisky.

Designed for those who enjoy big flavours and memorable drinks, Fireball delivers a unique combination of warming spice, sweetness, and whisky character.
