Don't be fooled, Fireball Whisky isn't being sold at New York convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores. It just kinda tastes like the Fireball whisky that I'm used to passing around the campfire. It's 66 proof and based on Canadian Whisky with cinnamon flavoring and sweeteners from the Sazerac Company.įireball Cinnamon (notice there's no Whisky after the word Cinnamon) is actually a malt beverage that is 33 proof and isn't based on whisky at all. What's the difference?įireball Cinnamon Whisky is a whisky that you can only buy at a liquor store in New York. Then I saw the Table Hopping article in the Times Union about the same exact thing.Īpparently, that wasn't Fireball Cinnamon Whisky I saw at the gas station/convenience store. I thought it was weird seeing Fireball for sale in the gas station since I thought liquor could only be sold in liquor stores in New York.
