Spicy And Sweet: Fireball Cinnamon Canadian Whisky Reviewed!
Просмотров 628Месяц назад
This is a Review of the Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. I first tasted it at a friends house - not something I would normally try. Fireball is made with Canadian whisky and natural cinnamon flavours. It's certainly very cinnamony, and it's not too sweet, which is a plus. Large bottle - will last a while. Also plastic bottle - bought online - would have bought a smaller glass one if I had known.

Smokehead Rock Edition II, Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
Great brandy! Greetings from Greece.
Thanks for your comment. By the way my ex wife was born in Athens!
Romagna is a region in Italy, nothing to do with Rome, sorry.
I am very biased towards liking Vecchia Romagna, as I also very much loved their great ads from the 80's.
Great video I was tossing up picking up a bottle but after watching this I will 👍🏻
Glad you found it helpful!
Unfortunately most duty free are overpriced some by an incredibly high amount. Always know your prices before shopping. So many “duty free” only that are also just overpriced gimmicks.
Hi @pizzawarlord9232. I'm just back from Taiwan - Bought a bottle of 12 yo Aultmore for AUD $84 - Duty Free listed in Australia for about $135. Australian duty free not worth it now.....
@ totally agree. Australia had several bottles for over $300 that are under $100 most places.
Just bought this for equivalent of $23 AUD on sale in USA. Never heard of the brand before, but sounds promising. Thanks for the video.
You've found a good deal there. Happy drinking!
You need to know your prices before you go, generally you get 1l for the 700ml store price
What a shame. My experiences of the slightly more expensive Single Barrel Barrel Proof bottles are phenomenal.
Prohibition in the UK???? You mean America which effected Whiskey industry???
Yes indeed.
Och..ter...muchtay
Scotch tasting glasses for brandy😂
Sounds worth a try! Cheers
After doing a deep dive into local Melbourne prices at Dan's and beyond compared to the Melbourne airport duty free, only the redbreast 12 and Grant's Distillery edition were at attractive prices to me
Thanks for your comment. It confirms my findings. Duty free is not the bargain it once was. Maximo
Please try Ballentine 17 year old blended scotch. Your psychology will change towards blended scotch. Also try Dewars 15 and 18 blended scotch and Last but not the least try Royal Bracula 12 single Malt.
Thanks for your comments. I picked up the Dewars 15 yo recently duty free. Look out for my review of it in the coming weeks. Maximo
@@tipplesntreats can hardly wait. Cheers 👍
Great show. Something is very confusing. Last week I bought Ballentine 15byear old called GLEN BURGIE. same taste Sam's stickers, same bottle.
i am planning on making Saganaki at home......with this
I've certainly been enjoying my 750ml bottle.
Tks for reviewing it
My pleasure. Thanks for your comment. Maximo
You’re very welcome. Maximo
Ah well, they can't all be winners! Cheers.
No they can’t - but it’s so much about your own personal taste preferences. Thanks for you comment SP.
In America, this one is sold as "Dimple Pinch". I was generally pleased with my 750ml bottle, but it's gone, now.
A classic! Cheers
I’ll drink to that! Thanks Maximo.
Drinking this tonight, very comfy whiskey. Actually surprised me, at first it felt a lot like Toki or Nikka Days, but on the second or third glass definitely has a richer, warmer floral taste like Hibiki. Will be getting this again for sure.
Thanks for your comment. I have yet to try a Japanese Whisky that I haven't liked. It's a shame they are all on the expensive side here in Australia. Maximo
Hard finding anyone telling anything about this whisky on RUclips. I just bought a bottle in Uruguay, and it is very good with barbecue. Cheers from Porto Alegre Brazil!
Thanks for your comment and glad we could be of assistance. It will be a great drop to warm you up for the coming winter - that that it would get very cold where you are.
Thanks for trying our gin. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as a Gin & Tonic and found the anise too strong. It is a contemporary style gin which is meant to be more complex than a London Dry style of gin and we understand that not everyone likes this style of gin. While we do use anise it is only a very small amount. Some people seem to pick up those liquorice flavours more than others. I personally hardly notice it in our gin at all. I do get the strong pepper and the long finish from Lemon Myrtle. Louching (when a spirit) goes cloudy means some of the botanicals (think strawberry gum and lemon myrtle) become less soluble when the alcohol content is reduced. This is not a bad thing - and happens a lot with full flavoured gins and spirits. I would recommend you try our gin again with the Elderflower Tonic that was supplied in the Garden Street Gin box along with a citrus garnish. My favourite is a lime wedge. Please feel free to reach out with any questions on how best to drink our gin and if you have the change we would love you to visit our Distillery and have a private tasting of all our products, with a Gin & tonic on the house.
Thanks for your detailed comment. So much about drinking spirits and Gin is about personal preferences and taste experiences. We still have a fair bit of it left and we will try it with Elderflower Tonic water as you have suggested. There are so many great Gins being. produced in Australia at the moment! We are certainly spoilt for choice. Thanks for the technical advice re Louching - l'll try to add that to a future video. Thanks. for your offer a a distillery tour. We will definitely get in touch when we next visit Sydney - We were there. last November so it might be a while? Maximo
Why did you add ice to the brandy? This is not right
The same could be said with respect a Single Malt Scotch but I have mine on the rocks as well. It comes down to personal preference in the end.
Alcoholic cough medicine....good stuff
Spot on!

Really - that does not sound very French?
Happy Birthday Maximus. So I was sitting at home in Brooklyn, NYC where winter seems to be already on it's way and I was breaking the cork as I tried to open a 2004 bottle of Shirvington Shiraz. "The algorithm" suggested your video. I've never had Grange. I envied you and I identified with you as I watched your video. The first time I bought a bottle of wine that was outside of my regular price bracket was five years ago. It was a Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, which I had noticed for maybe a decade without trying. I saw a great deal, opened the bottle in the motel I was staying in, smelled it and thought "uh-oh". When it hit my tongue I thought, "don't chunder", and spat it back into the glass. I couldn't drink it - it smelled like artificial cherry coughg-drops with sacharine flavoring. I left the recorcked bottle in the motel room for the cleaner. I'm happy that you had a much better experience. Thanks for sharing your experience with the world. Have you considered giving numeric scores to what you drink? I started doing this a few years back, putting reviews on cellartracker.com. I was self-conscious at first, but t helped force me to commit to a decision ("I really like tonight's Babich sauvignon blanc. Is it better than Wednesdays Kim Crawford?) it helped me to better understand what I like. Hope that you are having a wonderful Spring!
Thanks for your detailed comment. Were (and our livers) taking a break from the channel for a while. If you miss us you can catch us on my sister channel Maximo's Travels www.youtube.com/@MaximosTravels. Will consider a score rating on our next review in the new year. Maximo.
The lit sugar spoon method is the cezech method but they also say to poor a bit of cold water after and stir it but again such a shame to dilute
I tried absinthe for the first time when came to the uk and I have to say I absolutely love the taste of absinthe it is strong but it is smooth but has a bit of an after taste that's my favorite bit I Di want to try some of the more classical ways to drink it but seems such a shame to dilute .. but yea thanks for making the video guys
Our pleasure. Glad you are liking them.
THANK YOU for Sharing !!!!
Our pleasure!
What a great video. Excellently shot and edited. Very informative too. Must check them out.
So glad you enjoy them.
Bottled at Grants Bellshill I believe.
Always a struggle to support local whiskies when 500ml of non age-stated 42% ABV whisky is $250+! Glad it was tasty at least.
Yes - had to justify against superb Single Malts at less than 1/2 that cost. I'm lucky it was a present.
Four Roses is still a broad reaching favorite, Evan Williams has 3 Labels, the most affordable and a very well balanced Bourbon, Black Label then white Label 100 proof topped off with Evan Williams Green Label, hard to find but well worth the $$ and effort.
I remember trying a Four Roses - got it duty free about 20- years ago - can't seem to get it in Australia any more sadly.
There is so much room for Autonomous solutions in the Industry as a Whole
🌺 "Promosm"
Rare breed is pretty common on the store shelves in America. And is a favorite. If this is the non chill filter version count yourself lucky. This is only available at the duty free store at the airport. Wild Turkey rare breed is a good stepping stone into the stronger American bourbon's.
Thanks for your comment. I'll be travelling again overseas in a couple of months - any suggestions at the duty free for a nice well rounded bourbon? I bought a four roses once a few years back but have not seen that in Aus for a long time.
You might find something from Jack Daniels. Or anything from Buffalo Trace such as Blanton's, Weller, E.H. Taylor, Stagg.

I love the canada ❤ 🇨🇦
Eucalyptus and menthol is the connection with tiger balm
Yes that makes sense!
Another solid, unpretentious review. It's been many years since I've bought a bottle of Dalwhinnie - perhaps I'll give it a few years more! Cheers
Thanks for your comment. We try to call it as we see (or smell/taste) it!
Now, to me, it's a nice product.
I’ve been trying to get it in USA but haven’t seen it for about 15 years. Does anyone have any?
I did some research several months ago and I could not find a service to send Australian wines or Spirits overseas. Yalumba don't ship overseas either sorry.
I like you
good 😀
In my case, I love it. By the way, this whisky is $44.85 for a 750ml bottle, in Louisiana.
Thanks for your comment. That’s works out to approx $70 AUD with the current exchange rate. The rest can be attributed to our high liquor excise taxes!
The Federal Government here just increased the excise on alcohol. It’s now $100 AUD per litre of pure 100% alcohol. For beer 60% of the cost here is now tax! Local distillers are complaining it’s killing their industry.
That is a sickening situation!@@tipplesntreats
I tried this, once, and I loved it.
