The story

The story behind Atomic Red

Atomic Red starts as aged Canadian whisky, distilled and barreled north of the border, then blended and bottled in Boston by M.S. Walker, a family owned wine and spirits house that has been at it since 1931. The base is a traditional Canadian grain whisky, corn and rye in the mix, aged in barrel before anything else happens to it. Then comes the cinnamon, and a lot of it.

One correction we make at the counter most weeks: Atomic Red is not a bourbon. At 33% ABV, 66 proof, with added cinnamon flavoring, it cannot legally carry that label. It is a flavored Canadian whisky, and it does that job with a sweet, peppery heat that holds up in cold weather and cold drinks alike.

Buying guidance

Which Atomic Red is right for you?

Atomic Red sits in the value tier, and we price it that way. The 100mL is $2.99, the 1L is $17.99, and the 1.75L is $27.99, all at 66 proof. Compare that to the flavored whisky shelf and the math is obvious: the big bottle costs less per ounce than most single cocktails.
