Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks – Whole Cinnamon Quills

Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), often called “true cinnamon,” is prized for its warm, naturally sweet aroma and smooth, delicate spice character. Unlike the stronger and more intense flavor of cassia bark, Ceylon cinnamon offers a softer, more refined cinnamon profile with subtle sweet, woody, citrus-like, and floral notes.

These whole cinnamon sticks are an excellent botanical for spiced rum, whiskey infusions, botanical spirits, liqueurs, bitters, and other specialty spirit recipes. Their balanced character makes them especially useful when you want noticeable cinnamon flavor without overwhelming the other botanicals in your blend.

Ceylon cinnamon pairs particularly well with orange peel, lemon peel, vanilla, cardamom, cloves, allspice, star anise, coriander, ginger, and nutmeg. It can be used whole, broken into smaller pieces, or combined with other herbs and spices to create custom botanical blends.

Common Uses:

• Spiced rum and whiskey recipes
• Botanical spirit infusions
• Liqueurs and bitters

• Teas and hot beverages
• Syrups and extracts

• Culinary spice blends

For botanical spirits and infusions, cinnamon develops additional character with contact time. Start with a modest amount and adjust according to the desired intensity and flavor profile.
