Originally, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky was labelled as "Dr. McGillicuddy's Fireball Whisky" when it was introduced by Seagram in the mid-1980s. The "Dr. McGillicuddy's" was dropped from the label in 2007, to differentiate it from the rest of the "Dr. McGillicuddy's" line.
Previously, the lineup included Black Licorice, Black Pepper, Raspberry, and Lemon Drop liqueurs but the company website does not currently list them as being available.
