Discover the New Fireball Dragon Reserve: A Whiskey Lover's Review

Dustin Santos has introduced an intriguing addition to the Fireball family - the Fireball Dragon Reserve. This new variant, resting in charred oak barrels, offers a different take on the classic Fireball whisky that many know and enjoy. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 33%, or 66 proof, it promises a unique experience for whisky enthusiasts.

Upon opening, the bottle immediately stands out with its elegant design and cork closure. Although the cork doesn’t provide much of a pop, the aroma is familiar to Fireball fans - rich in cinnamon but slightly toned down compared to the original. Visually, the Dragon Reserve appears a bit darker, hinting at the influence of the charred oak barrels.

Tasting the original Fireball first, Dustin describes it as sweet, syrupy, and very cinnamony. Despite not being a fan of drinking it straight, he acknowledges its popularity as a mixer. Moving on to the Dragon Reserve, the differences become apparent. It's less syrupy but still maintains a strong cinnamon flavor, albeit not as overpowering. The faint notes of charred oak provide a subtle complexity, making it a preferable choice over the regular Fireball for those seeking a slightly more refined taste.

However, for those expecting a whiskey-forward flavor with just hints of cinnamon, the Dragon Reserve might not meet those expectations. It remains very much a Fireball product, just with a nuanced twist. Priced at $22 a bottle, it offers an affordable way to explore this new variant. Though it may not be widely available in stores yet, it can be found at QualityLiquorStore.com, where the promo code DIRTY can be used for a discount.
