Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire Cinnamon Liqueur

Tasting Notes

• Nose: It smells exactly like Atomic Fireball candies or Big Red gum. There is an immediate punch of sweet, spicy cinnamon with a faint hint of the classic Jack Daniel's vanilla and toasted oak in the background.
• Palate: It starts surprisingly smooth and sweet. The initial taste is like liquid cinnamon candy, followed by a building "slow burn" of heat. Mid-palate, the charred oak and caramel notes of the Tennessee whiskey make a brief appearance.
• Finish: Lingering and warm. It leaves a "red hot" tingle on the tongue that fades into a sweet, syrupy aftertaste.

Food Pairings

Because this is essentially "spiced candy in a glass," it works best with desserts or heavy, salty snacks.

• The "Apple Pie" Pairing: Warm Apple Pie or Apple Crisp. Cinnamon and apple are a legendary duo. Sipping JD Fire alongside a warm apple dessert makes it taste like a "liquid crust."
• Savory: Spicy BBQ Chicken Wings. The sweetness of the liqueur tames the vinegar in the BBQ sauce, while the cinnamon amplifies the heat of the peppers.
• Snack: Chili-Lime Peanuts. The salt and lime provide a sharp contrast to the syrupy sweetness of the liqueur.
• The "Fire & Ice" Dessert: Pour a chilled shot of Tennessee Fire directly over a bowl of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The cold cream balances the spicy cinnamon for a "snickerdoodle" flavor profile.
