Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire 375ML

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire 375ML is a cinnamon-flavored whiskey bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) that blends Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey with a proprietary cinnamon liqueur. Built on the charcoal-mellowed backbone of one of America’s most recognized whiskeys, this expression earned a B+ rating from Drinkhacker and stands as a serious contender in the flavored whiskey category.Quick Facts: ABV: 35%  |  Origin: Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA  |  Cinnamon Whiskey  |  Distillery: Jack Daniel DistilleryProduction & HeritageThe Jack Daniel Distillery, located in Lynchburg, Tennessee, has been owned by Brown-Forman Corporation since 1956 and remains one of the most storied American whiskey producers. The base spirit for Tennessee Fire starts as Old No. 7, distilled from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley in copper stills. Before aging, the clear distillate undergoes the Lincoln County Process — a slow, gravity-driven filtration through 10-foot stacks of sugar maple charcoal that takes three to five days to complete. This extra step distinguishes Tennessee whiskey from bourbon and gives the base spirit its characteristic smoothness. The matured Old No. 7 is then blended with Jack Daniel’s cinnamon liqueur to create Tennessee Fire, balancing spice-forward flavor against the depth of a genuine charcoal-mellowed whiskey.Tasting NotesAroma: Warm cinnamon dominates immediately, evoking red-hot candies and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Beneath the spice, softer layers of vanilla, caramel, cherry, and toasted oak emerge from the Old No. 7 base.Taste: The entry is smooth and initially sweet before giving way to a bold cinnamon burn at mid-palate. As the sweetness recedes, the whiskey foundation surfaces — charred oak, vanilla, and subtle smoky undertones provide genuine depth and keep the profile from becoming one-dimensional. The cinnamon heat is assertive yet controlled, never tipping into harsh or medicinal territory.Finish: Medium to long, with lingering candied cinnamon that gently fades alongside wisps of smoke and oak. The warmth persists pleasantly without overwhelming the palate.How to Drink Tennessee FireTennessee Fire works well chilled and sipped straight — the cold temperature tempers the sweetness and sharpens the cinnamon spice. It also performs surprisingly well in cocktails where the cinnamon profile adds complexity. Try it in a Cinnamon Old Fashioned, where the built-in spice replaces a separate bitters addition and pairs naturally with an orange peel garnish. A Fire and Ice — Tennessee Fire shaken with ice and a splash of apple juice — plays the cinnamon against crisp fruit for an approachable serve. It also elevates a Hot Toddy during colder months, as the cinnamon liqueur component adds warmth and sweetness that complement hot water, honey, and lemon without additional seasoning.Best For

The familiar cinnamon flavor provides an easy bridge into the whiskey category.Where is Tennessee Fire made? Tennessee Fire is produced at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Moore County, Tennessee. The distillery has operated in Lynchburg for over 150 years and is one of the most visited distilleries in the United States.What foods pair well with Tennessee Fire?

Rather than starting with a neutral or lightly flavored whisky, it builds on Old No. 7 — a whiskey that has already undergone the Lincoln County Process charcoal mellowing, a slow filtration step that most competitors skip entirely. That foundation contributes real oak, vanilla, and smoke notes that give the cinnamon flavor something substantial to play against. The 375ml bottle is a practical size for bringing to gatherings or for drinkers who want to keep a flavored option on hand without dedicating shelf space to a full bottle. For anyone seeking a cinnamon whiskey with actual whiskey character underneath the spice, Tennessee Fire delivers where many in the category fall short.
