Canela Cinnamon Whiskey is not your average flavored whiskey. While mass-market brands load up on artificial flavors, syrups, and sugar, we’ve taken a different path. Crafted by Clear Water Distilling, Canela begins with real whiskey and natural cinnamon for a warm, approachable, and authentic flavor profile.
This isn’t a candy-sweet shooter. It’s a whiskey lover’s cinnamon expression – approachable, complex, and versatile enough to enjoy neat, on ice, or in cocktails.
