Fireball Blazin' Apple 750ML

Fireball Blazin' Apple 750ML is a 33% ABV (66 proof) flavored Canadian whisky that fuses classic cinnamon heat with tart green apple in a 750ml bottle. As Fireball's first new flavor extension beyond its iconic cinnamon original, Blazin' Apple introduced a fruit-forward dimension that broadened the brand's cocktail versatility.

Quick Facts: ABV: 33% (66 proof)  |  Origin: Canada  |  Style: Flavored Canadian Whisky  |  Producer: Sazerac Company

Production & Heritage

Fireball traces its roots to the mid-1980s, when it was originally developed in Canada by Seagram as a flavor extension under the Dr. McGillicuddy's line. The brand is now owned and produced by the Sazerac Company, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Blazin' Apple starts with the same Canadian whisky base and natural cinnamon flavoring as the original Fireball, then layers in natural green apple flavor to create a tart-sweet profile that distinguishes it from the rest of the lineup. It is bottled at a slightly lower proof than standard whisky to keep the fruit and spice flavors accessible and mixable.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tart green apple hits first, followed by warm cinnamon spice and a subtle thread of vanilla sugar. The nose is bright and immediately inviting, leaning more toward fresh orchard fruit than candy.

Taste: The entry delivers juicy green apple sweetness that quickly meets Fireball's signature cinnamon warmth at mid-palate. A hint of tartness balances the sweetness, preventing the profile from becoming one-dimensional. The interplay between spice and fruit keeps each sip lively.

Finish: Surprisingly long for a flavored spirit, with lingering cinnamon heat and a refreshingly crisp apple fade. The finish leaves a clean, slightly spicy impression rather than heavy residual sweetness.

How to Drink Blazin' Apple

Blazin' Apple is best served chilled — either straight from the freezer as a shot or poured over ice to let the apple and cinnamon notes open gradually. Its built-in sweetness and lower proof make it a natural cocktail ingredient. Try it in an Apple Cider Mule, where the cinnamon spice complements ginger beer and fresh lime. It works well in a Caramel Apple Martini, shaken with caramel vodka and a splash of apple juice for an autumnal sipper. For a simple highball, mix it with lemon-lime soda to build a Blazin' Apple Spritz that keeps the fruit forward and the spice in check.

Crown Royal Regal Apple is bottled at 35% ABV and leans toward a richer, caramel-apple sweetness grounded in Crown Royal's smooth blended Canadian whisky base. Blazin' Apple runs slightly lower at 33% ABV and trades that smoothness for a pronounced cinnamon kick alongside its apple flavor, making it spicier and more assertive on the palate.

Is Blazin' Apple good for cocktails? Yes — its combination of fruit sweetness, cinnamon spice, and moderate 33% ABV makes it one of the more versatile flavored whiskies for mixing, especially in fall-themed cocktails and simple highballs.

Where is Blazin' Apple made? Blazin' Apple is produced using Canadian whisky as its base and is distributed by the Sazerac Company, which is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The Fireball brand originated in Canada in the mid-1980s under Seagram.

What foods pair well with Blazin' Apple? Sharp cheddar cheese works well, as the tartness cuts through the apple sweetness. Pork sliders with apple slaw mirror the fruit-and-spice profile. Cinnamon-dusted donuts amplify the baking spice notes. Salted caramel desserts create a complementary sweet-salty contrast. Smoked almonds match the warmth of the cinnamon finish.

What sizes does Blazin' Apple come in? Blazin' Apple is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle, and Fireball products are also commonly found in 50ml, 375ml, and 1L formats depending on market availability.

Is Blazin' Apple worth the price? Blazin' Apple positions squarely in the value tier of flavored whiskies, priced comparably to the original Fireball and competitive with other flavored Canadian whiskies like Crown Royal Regal Apple.

Why Blazin' Apple?

As Fireball's first-ever flavor extension, Blazin' Apple represents a deliberate expansion of one of the best-selling whisky brands in North America. The combination of natural green apple flavor with Fireball's established cinnamon-whisky base creates a profile that neither ingredient achieves alone — the tartness tempers the sweetness, and the cinnamon adds depth that straight apple-flavored spirits often lack. At 33% ABV, it sits in a practical sweet spot: strong enough to hold its own in cocktails, approachable enough for chilled shots. For anyone who enjoys the original Fireball and wants a fruit-forward twist with genuine mixing potential, Blazin' Apple fills that gap convincingly.
