Introducing SinFire™ Cinnamon Whisky

HOOD RIVER, Ore. (January 30, 2012) – Tapping into the growing trend of flavored whisky, Hood River Distillers, Inc. announced today the launch of SinFire™ Cinnamon Whisky.Playing up the cinnamon flavor and the sinful and fiery nature of the spirit, the “SinFire” name instantly lets the drinker know they are in store for a unique, sweet yet sizzling experience.“Flavored whisky continues to be a growing category in the spirits market, and our experience and success with Canadian whiskies makes this a natural endeavor for us,” said Ronald Dodge, Hood River Distillers president and CEO. “With the development of SinFire Cinnamon Whisky, our goal is to offer our distributors and off-premise partners a great-tasting, flavored whisky, at a great value.”Targeting men and women ages 21-40, SinFire Cinnamon Whisky combines the smooth, rich notes of a good, balanced whisky and warm, spicy-sweet cinnamon flavors.
