Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is one of the most popular and famous whiskies in America. The drink was first produced in the 1980s, and over the years, it slowly became popular in Canada and outside the country.
Quite rightly seen as a benchmark for well aged Sherry Cask matured whisky. Most distilleries scaled back production in the 1970’s and 80’s, but the Grant family had the foresight to keep the stills running. As a result, they have access to some of the best stocks of old whisky in the business, and are able to offer them at jaw droppingly reasonable prices.

Over the years Kinahan’s received two royal warrants and became the whiskey of choice for legendary American bartender Jerry Thomas.

The second release from Pierre Ferrand’s Renegade Barrel. This time the spirit has been in initially aged in traditional oak barrels, before being moved over to barrels made from chestnut wood!
Pierre Ferrand Renegade Barrel is a rare example of double-matured spirit from the Cognac region. Because it is aged in a combination of classic oak casks and chestnut-wood barrels, rather than just oak, this rich and softly sweet eau-de-vie de vin can’t be called ‘Cognac’.
