Whiskey: Jim Beam Fire Bourbon
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.
Size: 750mL
Proof: 70 (35% ABV)
Origin: United States
Distillery: Beam Suntory Inc.
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.
