Fireball Whiskey Lawsuit

[CloneIce]

Liquid heartburn.

Fireball is only like 30-35 proof. Kinda like baileys and mad dog, and who didn’t drink a bottle of mad dog in 5 minutes or so in college?

I saw that somewhere not too long ago and was wanting to give it a try. I currently don't have orange bitters but will pick some up. Did you use Bulleit? I have some Makers Mark 46 that I use for Old Fashioneds and was planning on using that.

I did use Bulleit but I think any decent bourbon would be fine.

I learned my Mad Dog lesson before college. I had a super-sophisticated drink palate in college. Beast light is sophisticated, right?

Sounds kind of like a bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout but with a much higher ABV.

A good comparison but more boozy.

I formerly lived on a state highway and would walk the shoulders for light exercise. I counted over 30 little fireball bottles in a two mile walk. My question is are they paying the nickel deposit?

For some reason there is no deposit on these bottles. Perhaps the small size?

Same here. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I think Fireball Whiskey is OK if that's what you want, a more sugary cinnamon whiskey.

The only time I'd come across the small mini-bottle version, I was given one at a friend's house, from the wife. I think she never read the label either. I think she assumed it was whiskey too.

Moral of story: read label.

If you bought them in Iowa I'd bet they are whiskey. I happened to notice a display yesterday in a Caseys and they were whiskey. I think the only states they sell the other type are ones that don't have higher alcohol content in convenient stores.
