Nellie Collins Cin’amon Sin Whiskey

Description

The Collins’ family used their whiskey for almost all occasions, even medicinal needs. Some of the younger family members couldn’t drink the straight whiskey, so in order to make the whiskey more smooth and drinkable, the Collins Clan added cinnamon. According to Native Americans, usage of cinnamon raises spiritual and protective vibrations, and creates physical energy. My aunts and uncles would tell us stories of how my dad always seemed to have a sore throat… Hmmm? That’s why Nellie would call out the cinnamon whiskey as, “Brings out the Sin!”
