Sinfire Cinnamon Whisky is a brand made with blended Canadian whisky and all natural cinnamon flavors. It is imported, bottled, and distributed exclusively by Hood River Distillers, located in Hood River, Oregon, United States.[1] Launched in February 2012,[2] the whisky has a flavor reminiscent of Red Hots candy. The 70 proof spirit is available in 1.75 L, 1.0 L, 750 ml, 375 ml and 50 ml sizes.

History

The Sazerac Company, maker of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, sued the Hood River Distillers over the allegedly confusing trade name and marketing of its product.[3][4][5]

Label

The product has a thermochromic temperature-sensitive label, which turns the icicles on the back blue when the bottle is chilled.[6] This is intended to inform consumers when the bottle is at the optimal serving temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit.[7]

In September 2015, Sinfire released a Limited Edition Northwest Label that featured a lime green and blue label. In August 2016, Sinfire released a green and yellow Limited Edition label.
