Real McCoy unveils its Cinnamon Doughnut Whiskey Liqueur

While no one necessarily needs a cinnamon doughnut in liquid form, it turns out it’s a very good idea.

Real McCoy’s newest release – Cinnamon Doughnut Whiskey Liqueur – proves exactly that. Warm, smooth, and unmistakably spiced, it balances nostalgic sweetness with a bold American whiskey and bourbon base that holds its own from first pour to last round.

Following the success of Salted Caramel and Buttered Popcorn, the brand continues its run of flavour-led drops with something designed for now – at a time when flavour is leading the conversation and drinks are expected to do more than just one thing.

Think cinnamon sugar, soft vanilla, and freshly baked doughnuts – backed by American Whiskey and Bourbon for a finish that’s smooth and unmistakably grown-up.

“There’s a clear shift towards flavour-led drinking – people want something that tastes great, but also fits different moments,” says Johann Einarson, Brand Manager at VOK Beverages. “Cinnamon Doughnut taps into that. It’s familiar, but unexpected – and it works just as well as a quick shot as it does in a more considered serve.”

Crafted with a smooth blend of American Whiskey and Bourbon, Real McCoy Cinnamon Doughnut delivers:

– Nose: Warm vanilla and freshly baked doughnut
– Palate: Cinnamon sugar spice layered with smooth whiskey
– Finish: Rounded, warming, and softly spiced

Designed to move easily between occasions, Cinnamon Doughnut is equally suited to cocktails, chilled shots, or straight pours – making it a natural addition to both night-in and night-out prep.

“It’s designed to be picked up without overthinking it,” Einarson adds. “Something you can bring into a night and know it’s going to work.”
