Nevertheless, they still taste very good and provide many benefits. 2. Does alcohol-free whiskey expire? The problem with non-alcoholic versions of drinks that are typically alcoholic by nature is that, historically, they have been foul. While low- or no-alcohol beers are making progress as more brands launch their own lines, many wine substitutes still tend to taste like sour Ribena or days-old Appletiser. Spirits, which are much more potent and rely more on what the experts call “structure”, have to stand up in terms of flavour. Zoe Burgess, head of research and development at the bartender collective Drink Factory and co-owner of the Dalston bar Untitled, agreed to test out some non-alcoholic spirit samples to see what she could do with them. I tried the other two in an alcohol free Old Fashioned, so it’s only fair to compare…..[tasting]…..Absolutely not. Don’t try that at home.

And when you do, make sure to have an open mind so you can assess the flavors better and enjoy them more. There are many styles of whiskey around the world. For the purposes of this comparison of non-alcoholic whiskey, I will only focus on a few. A recent explosion in the availability of spirit alternatives was largely led by the success of the non-alcoholic distilled botanical drink Seedlip. Thanks to a well-resourced marketing campaign, this seems to carved a niche all of its own. Not to everyone’s taste – it’s been likened to weedkiller – this drink made from peas and it tastes of peas. But it’s unquestionably been a success.

You will have to decide that for yourself.
