This fall, Fireball tapped into the spirit of friendly rivalries with its football-centric Ignite Your Rivalry campaign, and in November, Fireball is launching Crierball, a limited-edition whisky infused with the tears of losing teams.
At highly anticipated pro and collegiate rivalry games, sports fans can look for Fireball Tear Collectors in uniform to capture tears that will be turned into Crierball Whisky, turning moments of loss into something sweet to savor.
"We expect the tears we capture will undergo a meticulous, months-long process of sterilization and distillation before ultimately becoming Crierball," said Danny Suich, Global Brand Director for Fireball, "Our plan is to have this salty-cinnamon innovation ready for next football season so the victorious can hold last season's triumph over their rivals' heads for just a little bit longer."
