                                Despite its "Cinnamon Whisky" label, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky has a 33% alcohol by volume (ABV), which places it technically outside the definition of a true hard liquor in many countries. The question, "Is Fireball considered hard alcohol?", is a common one that hinges on a matter of legal classification and liquor industry standards.
