The Sazerac Company has introduced a new permanent addition to its Fireball product line — Fireball Blazin' Apple. As the name might suggest, this offering is a flavored whisky-based liqueur that combines the brand's established profile of natural cinnamon with the taste of apple. It represents a novel flavor variation that builds upon a familiar and popular taste profile.
Fireball Blazin' Apple is said to deliver a simultaneous sensation of sweetness and spiciness, a combination the company refers to as "sweet heat." It is intended for consumption as a chilled shot or as a component in mixed drinks.
The Sazerac Company supports the launch of the Fireball Blazin' Apple with a national marketing campaign featuring comedian Ben Schwartz, which humorously reimagines historical and fictional events involving apples.
