Some like it hot - even whiskey drinkers

The spirits business is alive with innovative new flavours - and for those who like it hot Dubliner Liberties Distillery has launched a new sweet and spicy product in Australia - Dubliner Fiery Irish.

Distilled in the heart of Dublin, Fiery Irish is a new cinnamon and chilli-flavoured whiskey liqueur.

Nicole Moore, marketing manager for GAP Drinks, the distributors of Dubliner Whiskey in Australia, says: “Dubliner Fiery Irish is for Australians seeking a beverage that is bold, accessible and downright delicious.

"With a lower ABV [30%] and unique combination of sweet and spicy flavours, it allows us to broaden the appeal to consumers who may be new to Irish whiskey, or for those just simply looking for an approachable new whiskey option.

"What sets it apart from other cinnamon-flavoured whiskies or liqueurs on the market, however, is that final warming finish of chilli on the senses which leaves you with a satisfying finish.”

Fiery Irish pays homage to its country of origin, with the Irish known for their passionate approach to life.

“We love the name Fiery Irish as it is a playful nod to our home right in the heart of Dublin, and allows consumers to understand our key point of difference, our spice and fiery flavour," Moore says.

Fiery Irish is the third varietal to join the Dubliner family, alongside the Dubliner Bourbon Cask Aged Irish Whiskey and the Dubliner Whiskey & Honeycomb Liqueur.

It is recommended to serve it as a neat shot, as an after dinner drink, or with a mixer.

Dubliner Fiery Irish is available at Dan Murphy’s and BWS stores from $49.99 per 700mL bottle.

# I asked for a sample to taste but apparently no bottles were available, so I cannot speak for the quality of this product.
