Grinds Cinnamon Whisky (Coffee Pouches) - Review. 24 February 2022.

The folks at Grinds Coffee Pouches have churned out another unique taste, this one with the combination of cinnamon and whisky!  I'm not a whisky drinker myself, but I have friends who are big fans of that Fireball Cinnamon Whisky stuff, so I imagine this sort of taste is popular.  The description for this one I pulled from their Facebook page says, "A first of its kind, Cinnamon Whiskey is as smooth as the day is long.  The familiar burn of sweet whiskey, with a boost of energy".  The can weighs in at 18 grams and has 18 pouches for 1 gram each.  The caffeine content is 50mg/pouch.  This product also comes in the moisture-locked dry pouch, which Grinds describes by saying it "maintains its flavor longer and leaves your fingertips clean".  

Alright, let's dive right on into this one and check out Grinds Cinnamon Whisky!  When you open the can, there's a present aroma of cinnamon that greets you, along with subtle tones of whisky.  Of course, being a Grinds product, there's a rich aroma of coffee.  The pouches seem moist, but they aren't dripping and they don't stain your fingers.  They're nice and plump in the lip, and have a nice flavor release.  In the flavor, I notice a rich taste of coffee right off the bat.  There's hints of cinnamon in the background, along with subtle hints of whisky.  In terms of the caffeine, it has a pretty solid kick!  Much like drinking a can of Mountain Dew, you'll definitely feel it.  The flavor, on average, lasts for about an hour.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I rated this one at 3.58/5.  While it's not something I'd use full time, I did enjoy the flavor a lot and I dig that Grinds is starting to experiment and make these more unique and random flavors.  I'm not a big whisky drinker, but I think people who like whisky are going to like this one.  And, if you're into the cinnamon flavor profile, you'll dig this one.
