Hard Truth Cinnamon Vodka

I'm quite familiar with this establishment. They began as a dining venue and brewery. The beer selection is decent, but that's a separate matter. I actually enjoy several of Hard Truth's offerings. Their cinnamon vodka is particularly good. I'll note that it doesn't drink like a typical vodka and, similar to a previous comment, it really feels more like a liqueur. It is sweet, but the sweetness is natural; the company uses two types of cinnamon and pure cane sugar for sweetness. If Fireball is your preference, I highly suggest trying this one, as in my opinion, it surpasses Fireball significantly – it's smoother, has better flavor, and lacks that overly sweet, syrupy texture. While not exceptionally high in alcohol, it's deceptively smooth. You could likely consume half the bottle without realizing it. It's a great component for fall and winter beverages, and considering the price, I'd choose this over Hot Damn, Fireball, or any other comparable liqueurs. You can also enjoy it neat or on ice as a pleasant sipper. If you visit one of their Indiana locations, they should offer a sample if you're undecided.

I'm conflicted; while I could easily consume this continuously, it also resembles a liqueur, suggesting artificial or added sweetener. If not for that, and a higher proof, it might score very well in competitions. Some judges rate it lower. My score was 80.

I love this! It pairs wonderfully with Coke for a boozy soda fountain treat.

It's like a cinnamon-flavored liqueur, but somehow worse.

Pleasant cinnamon flavor, quite agreeable.
