There is a huge range of zero-proof spirits hitting the market these days, with a huge demand for a decent alcohol-free whisky. Producers have taken note, and we are now seeing zero-proof spirits now capture the rich flavors, smoky aromas, and complex profiles that are the hallmark of their alcoholic counterparts. These alcohol-free whiskeys are some of our favourites, and provide the same depth and character as traditional spirits, allowing you to indulge in your old rituals. While we typically recommend non-alcoholic spirits to be mixed into a classic cocktail, these alcohol-free whiskeys can still hold on their own. Now, you can enjoy the full experience of whisky, bourbon, and scotch, while staying true to your lifestyle and enjoying the benefits of no alcohol.
1. Free Spirits Bourbon
Free Spirits was one of the first non-alcoholic spirit brands we sampled. We certainly started on a high note, with what is now our best selling alcohol-free bourbon.
The Spirit of Bourbon is a game changer for anyone craving the rich, oaky taste of a Kentucky Bourbon. It captures the essence of bourbon with its smooth, velvety blend of toasted almond, brown sugar, and a hint of toffee. A warming finish to replicate alcohol completes the experience, which shines when crafting an Old Fashioned at home.

2. Dochus Smokey Isle
I was never a consumer of Scotch even when I did drink alcohol, but when tasked with finding an alternative for Santé Dry Bottle Shop, I was blown away by the "Spirit of Scotland" range from Glen Dochus.
With its rich, velvety body, Dochus Smokey Isle perfectly mimics the complexity of traditional Scotches, offering a blend of smoked sweetness, citrus, and a touch of apricot. The palate is smooth and warming, with an elegant smoky finish and hints of pepper and spices. With it's silky texture, it is ideal for sipping neat, or on the rocks.
