Bold like Jack, warm like cinnamon, and smoother than you might expect from a spirit that calls itself Fire. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire Whiskey 70cl blends the familiar character of Old No. 7 with a red-hot cinnamon liqueur that delivers heat, sweetness and a surprisingly easy finish.
About Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire Whiskey 70cl
The base of this bottle starts with Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, charcoal-mellowed through sugar maple before ageing in new American oak barrels in Lynchburg, Tennessee. That classic Jack Daniels foundation is then blended with a warm cinnamon liqueur, creating a spirit that carries genuine whiskey depth underneath its fiery top notes. The balance between the two elements is what separates Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire from cheaper cinnamon shots that lean on sweetness alone.
Strength sits at 35% ABV in a 70cl bottle, a little lower than standard whiskey but enough to ensure the fire kicks properly on the back of every sip. The Daniels distillery positions this as a crossover spirit, one that appeals to whiskey drinkers looking for something different and to people who enjoy flavoured spirits but want something with a credible Jack Daniels backbone behind it. Whether it ends up in a shot glass, an apple-based cocktail or sipped slowly over ice, Tennessee Fire brings a warmth that earns its name.

FAQs
Does Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire taste like cinnamon sweets?
The cinnamon is prominent but sits on top of a genuine Jack Daniels whiskey foundation, so the overall flavour has more complexity and warmth than a simple confectionery-style cinnamon hit.
Is Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire classed as a whiskey or a liqueur?
Officially it is a cinnamon-flavoured whiskey-based spirit. The Jack Daniels Old No. 7 base qualifies as whiskey, but the addition of cinnamon liqueur brings the ABV down to 35% and changes the classification.
Why is Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire best served from the freezer?
Freezing smooths the sweetness, sharpens the cinnamon kick and thickens the liquid slightly, creating a cleaner, more intense shot experience than serving the fire at room temperature.
What is the difference between Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire and Fireball?
Tennessee Fire uses genuine Jack Daniels whiskey as its base and sits at 35% ABV, while Fireball is a Canadian whisky-based cinnamon spirit at 33% ABV. The Daniels foundation gives Tennessee Fire a deeper, oakier backbone beneath the spice.
Can Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire be mixed into warm drinks?
Yes. Stirring a measure into hot apple cider or warm apple juice creates an excellent autumn and winter serve that puts the fire character to seasonal use.
How many units of alcohol are in a 70cl bottle of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire?
A full 70cl bottle at 35% ABV contains approximately 24.5 units, so individual servings of 25ml deliver just under one unit each.
