Non-Alcoholic Bourbon - Award Winning Whiskey Alternative - Low Calorie, Vegan, Gluten- with B-Vitamins - Natural Ingredients for Delicious Cocktails - 750 ml Bottle

I gave it 1 star just to acknowledge the effort that went into creating this product. Look I’m not a guy who turns my nose up to non-alcoholic beverages. I can enjoy a Budweiser Zero or other non-alcoholic beer. So when I saw this product advertised, out of curiosity I bought a bottle. After all why not? Lemme tell you all about this. First off, as soon as you pull the cork out, the aroma is a slap in the face to all bourbons everywhere. It smells like the aftertaste of vomit in your mouth. So right out the gate things weren’t looking good. But I was committed to trying it out so I dug in and prepared myself. I put a large ball in my glass and poured this over it. I let it settle for a few minutes before taking a sip. Oh my god it was bad. I can’t put it any other way. It begins with a familiar oak taste but a second after hitting my tongue, there was that vomit taste again with a prune finish. I had to force it down because I didn’t want to be wasteful. A week later I thought I would give it another try. But after a few sips I gave up. I poured out the glass and poured the rest of the bottle down the sink. The whole kitchen smelled like vomit and prunes for about a half hour afterward. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone. If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic bourbon, this ain’t it. In fact you may just have to face reality. Because I have zero faith in these products now. I’ll be sticking with the real thing and only the real thing from now on. I had hoped to dabble with creating a non-alcoholic Old Fashioned with this, but I think I’ll go back to experimenting with iced tea to find that proper fix. And I’ll stick with my Woodford, Buffalo Trace, and Bulleitt for myself. I normally don’t leave reviews for products on here. I just buy my stuff and mind my own business. But I can’t in good conscience stay silent. If you’re reading this, trust me. It’s not worth it. Find something else.

Estoy en abstinencia forzada por tres meses. Pensé que este producto sabría, aunque fuera remotamente, como un verdadero whiskey. Horrible! No sabe nada parecido a un whiskey de ningúna procedencia. Al contrario parece que lo condimentaron con salsa Tabasco. No lo recomiendo.

I love this stuff. I'm trying to drink less but I love sharing a cocktail with my husband in the evening and this product helps me do so with satisfaction. I fill an old fashioned glass with ice. I add about 2 oz of this product and also about 1/2 a teaspoon- 1 tsp of Bittermilk No.1 which adds a little sweetness. Ia gree with other reviewers that say this doesn't necessarily taste like my favorite whiskeys but it helps me make an old fashioned "like" cocktail that tastes great and also goes great with an ounce of dark chocolate for my favorite after dinner treat! I like to keep it low cal and low sugar and simple, but the other recipes by Free Spirit sound good to try as well.

I can only say that this purchase was a massive disappointment. I am an occasional bourbon drinker and my usual brand for mixing is Jim Beam. Nothing fancy. I have a friend who is big into non-alcoholic options and he used to like a proper Old Fashioned so I had high hopes of sharing a proper NA Old Fashioned with him. This is nothing even close to Beam, or Bulleit, or a Woodford. It's aroma is chemically, it's mouth feel is watery, and the aftertaste is lingering, strong, and unpleasant. It has a slightly "whiskey" kind of burn but everything else about this is off putting and very non-bourbon. Think Pine-Sol with a jalapeno kick and a B vitamin scent (it has B12 in it). I tried it neat, on the rocks, and in an Old Fashioned mix and tried to doctor it to something palatable but was unable to, so, I dumped the whole bottle down the kitchen sink. If you like bourbon don't buy this. You WILL be disappointed. If you might by this to try something that tastes like bourbon, don't, it's not an accurate representation of bourbon. If you want to see someone gag and shoot a video to post of them tasting it then THIS is for you! I don't like posting negative things but this is not good.

No way around it, folks - this stuff smells foul out of the bottle. Chemical smell as other reviewers noted, but to me it most resembles campfire smoke. I’m searching for the most tolerable zero proof whiskey for my Manhattans and this was on the short list. The pour produces bubbles and appears soapy, for lack of a better descriptor. In the drink it has a bit of a chemical campfire smoke taste, which is listed in the ingredients. The alcohol “burn” (capsaicin) is good but, as with all these products, happens after the sip, not with the sip, and lingers in the mouth a good while. I think most of these products get a few things right but none seem to really mimic whiskey.
