Sinfire Cinnamon Whisky is a brand of liqueur made with blended Canadian whisky and cinnamon flavoring. It is imported, bottled, and distributed 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.
Label
[edit]The product has a thermochromic temperature-sensitive label, which turns the icicles on the back blue when the bottle is chilled.[3] This is intended to inform consumers when the bottle is at the optimal serving temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit.[4]
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.
