Description

This whiskey is created by mixing the world’s finest Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with the flavor of red-hot cinnamon liqueur, delivering a fiery, sweet kick.

In 2014, Jim Beam launched another flavored bourbon to the market and it quickly caught fire. Kentucky Fire is a cinnamon-infused version of the popular whiskey and joined Beam’s flavor portfolio, which includes Red Stag, Apple, Honey, and Maple. Following with the resurgence of cinnamon spirits, Kentucky Fire is a welcome addition to the liquor cabinet and tops my list of the flavors the brand offers.

Jim Beam Fire Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Smells exactly like a fireball candy, with candied cinnamon as the primary note out of the glass.

Palate: Vanilla, caramel, light oak, and cinnamon.

Finish: The finish is medium length and a showcase for the cinnamon spice which gradually peters off.
