I work at a brand new non-alcoholic bar in Orlando! We use Monday whiskey and gin & the ritual rum & tequila and they are fantastic! As well as many NA bitters, aperitifs, wine & beer!! Love this!
Thanks from those of us who come from long lines of severe alcoholics yet like the images associated with certain drinks. Like reclining in a leather chair with nice glass of Scotch with two cubes of ice and a good leather bound book.
Super excited about this, was diagnosed with epilepsy two years ago and had to stop drinking some of my favorite alcoholic beverages due to my meds. I’m definitely gonna look into this.
Very entertaining! Good new direction for your channel - should increase your viewers. I'm from Scotland so non-alcoholic whisky is an unusual concept... Great facial expressions when you were tasting them!
Need more people embracing non-alcoholic for sure! I said adieu to alcohol more than a year ago now, but still have that craving for that taste sometimes. I've tried different alcohol free beers and it has been hard to find one that has quite that flavor, but it is good enough to make it worthwhile to avoid the alcohol for sure. :)
I've tried them all and my 2 favorites are Becks NA and Clausthaler Dry Hopped IPA. Both could pass as regular beer at a bar. After mowing my little one acre field there's just nothing like a nice cold beer!
Due to medication, I cannot drink anymore. I appreciate this review. I've watched a few now, and Monday's seems to have hit the mark the closest to a palatable whiskey substitution. Just like everything, taste preference is to the individual.
I just learned about non-alcoholic whiskey so I bought some Spritless today. I’m enjoying my non-alcoholic Jack and Coke now. You just can’t expect that this will be the same thing, because it definitely is not. But the drink I made is tasty, so that’s fine with me, and the 15 calories per serving is going to be good for my waistline!
I cannot imagine ever buying non-alcoholic whisky myself, but anyone who is a place where they have a use for such a thing, I am TOTALLY in support of them having the best experience possible. Thank you for bringing this to the people. Somewhere out there are people who need this, and I hope so much they get these four and decide vehemently that your ranking is totally backwards.
I quit drinking due to health and attempted suicide. All my friends drink when we get together so I bring my Kentucky whiskey. No alcohol. Still feel apart of everything. Toasted to our fallen friends. I enjoy it.
@@travischaddock4826 I’m a brain tumor survivor and I get chronic migraines and alcohol is a trigger so I love no alcoholic spirits as an option to have a cocktail once in a while
Non-alcoholic beer and drinks are f****** stupid LOL. Yet they pretty much saved me when I decided to become sober. I go to bars I'm still able to socialize, spend money, have a beer or two and watch the game. So I secretly love them now but I will never tell. oh....shit.
Well that was unexpected but quite interesting to watch to be honest. I would joke that this test should not be done being sober :P But I prefer black Ceylon tea anyway :D
Thanks JB. I didn’t know there was non alcoholic whiskey - which was my drink as well. After not a ton of success with the NA beer, my hopes aren’t overly high but I’m gonna give it a go. The more options the better!!
From my experience, the best non-alcoholic spirits are botanicals that aren't trying to be something else, but just doing their own original thing. Tennyson's Black Ginger, Seedlip Herbal, and Pathfinder Hemp and Root are examples of what I'm talking about. The NA whiskeys I've tried are disappointing. There are some NA gins that are decent.
Just starting my non-alcohol journey. Was SO hoping one of these whiskeys was like the real thing. Like others, appreciate your honesty. I tried a 0-rose wine the other day. Horrible. Like flavored kool-aid. Like I say, just starting the search. If anyone out there can just cut me to the chase... and save me a bunch of time and expectation... Is there ANY zero-alcohol in existence that tastes like the real deal? Can it be done? Or are they all hugely disappointing. Oh and btw, I'm talking mostly straight, or on the rocks. Vodka, rum, gin, tequila, whiskey?? Thank you in advance!
I'm going to put in a plug for Quebcol liqeurs made in Lac Megantic. Lot of good artisanal gins here. I do like near beer! I hate Jack, but I like Honey Jack.
Is crazy I'm Muslim and we don't drink alcohol before i become Muslim i used to drink alcohol 🥃 and lately i was " craving" so i was searching for free alcohol 🥃 attentive
Lyre's Highland Malt (Traditional Reserve) is the one you are looking for, but it's often out of stock. There are so many types of Whiskey. Bourbon, Irish, Tennessee, Scotch? You like a peaty Scotch, from what you have described. None of these were modelled after a peaty scotch. The labelling of these whiskies are horrible due to trademarks of names. Refill the amount you used in those bottles with your favorite bourbon and then you'll be able to drink them, they will have very little real whisky in them. Unless you are trying to abstain completely, mixing half and half or at least 10-20% real is the only way you can use these. I agree the American Malt is the worst Lyres product hands down, and Ritual doesn't make much of anything I would order again. Oh and another trick is to use these in a Whiskey sour. It really helps alot. It also helps to put real whisky in an atomizer and mist the finished cocktail with it. Have a great day and thanks for your reviews. You might want to try to new Seir Hill Mashville.It is a Tennessee style like Jack Daniels. That would probably be really good with your gingerale. The Lyre's Highland malt is designed as a sipper.
I am drinking Kentucky 74 Old Fashioned right now with Stirrings Old Fashioned mix and a bit of Liber Old Fashioned Syrup and orange peel. It is amazing, tastes like a real Old Fashioned, just the right amount of sweet and bitter. I tried Ritual and it was disgusting.
I tried Monday and was SO disappointed. Tasted like stale old decaffeinated diet coke with cayenne pepper in it. Found this video to see if there's anything remotely like whiskey out there.
Great questions!! I am back on my N/A videos and we will do that. I also have N/A champaign we will do a video on for the New Year and N/A Beer :) Thanks for the suggestion might as well try!
There all the same , they’ve rushed this out for the trend , that’s happening, the whiskeys taste like cough medicine, the gins taste like flat 7up , strange thing is ! They’re the same price as the alcoholic ones , they need to be adding more chilli kick heat for the whiskey and juniper extract for the gins , 👍
I gotta say…I love you…great honesty! Maybe n/a gin has a better chance with tonic. As for whiskey…let’s only drink the good stuff until somebody comes up with a decent flavor!
@@morningcoach BTW, I tried Monday n/a gin and bourbon, in the wise words of my Mom…pure horse pee! I’m sticking with only the good stuff. Life is too short to live without good whiskey❤️ and I’d rather just drink a nice Tonic than mixing with bad Gin. I’m following you!
Nasty You’re better off drinking Heineken no alcohol beer it’s very light and it has the alcohol taste any gives you that feeling that you’re drinking something really taste like a beer and I’m not a big beer drinker I’m a jack and honey girl
Thank you saul goodman
you’re welcome bro it’s all good man
He really does sound like Bob Odenkirk doesn't he?
Almost a dead ringer! Lol
Oh my gosh I instantly heard it too 😂🤣🤣🤣
He even moves like Saul it’s crazy
Omg wanted to coment the same thing

I just stopped drinking and am in St Pete. Where is the NA bar?!... I'm coming! 🤗
Where?!?!?!?
@TheGeistfelds Thank you!
Monday gin is awesome! And the Monday whiskey by his description still sounds delicious, have you had it by itself?
I wish this was in Toronto Ontario
Thanks from those of us who come from long lines of severe alcoholics yet like the images associated with certain drinks. Like reclining in a leather chair with nice glass of Scotch with two cubes of ice and a good leather bound book.
I a whiskey guy but can't drink alcohol anymore do to a stomach ulcer so im looking for an alternative thanks for this vid
Super excited about this, was diagnosed with epilepsy two years ago and had to stop drinking some of my favorite alcoholic beverages due to my meds. I’m definitely gonna look into this.
Your face when drinking these for the first time is classic
Really, really good review. Thanks for saving me time and money, Coach!
Thanks for saving me money and being honest.
Thank you good luck on the AF (Alcohol Free) journey!!! My life is better without it - no if I can cut down on the Sugar LOL - thanks for the comment!

Non alcoholic cider really captures it for me.
I find that Sober Carpenter is right on for NA beer, with Athletic Brewing IPA also being identical flavor that I can tell.
Heineken 0.0 works for me, athletic brewing IPA is great too. IT's hard to find mocktails that don't have a shiteload of sugar. 😆
I've tried them all and my 2 favorites are Becks NA and Clausthaler Dry Hopped IPA. Both could pass as regular beer at a bar. After mowing my little one acre field there's just nothing like a nice cold beer!
athletic brew NA beers are legit

Kind of sounds like saul goodman
I'm so glad I'm not alone here, I kept thinking that through the whole thing
He looks like him too
This was mildly hilarious, but felt very honest. I'm on the hunt for some zero proof stuff for days when we don't want alcohol.

I need it i cant drink alcohol anymore do to an ulcer in my stomach 😢
I'm not into these kinds of drinks, but seeing your face as you tried them was priceless :-) Thanks!

Bud makes a good no alc beer.
Bud zero and odouls green label great cheap options. Athletic brewing makes excellent ipas but more pricey.
Athletic brewing company are great.
Try sam Adam’s non alcoholic it’s decent
Partake has great NA beer options. Their blonde and hazy ipa is the best
Thanks for this review. I was looking for someone reviewing 0% Spirits as I have friends who don't drink anymore.
Love the honest review 😂

What about if you mixed a couple of the non alcoholic whisky together, say the Monday with the Ritual so you get the bite with the smokiness?
Thanks for saving us the trial and error

5:18 between the "not bad", the haircut and generally everything else, he reminds me of Saul Goodman...
I think all of these do not recommend straight, neat or on the rocks.

Is crazy I'm Muslim and we don't drink alcohol before i become Muslim i used to drink alcohol 🥃 and lately i was " craving" so i was searching for free alcohol 🥃 attentive
I’m Muslim of 11 years now and I love N.A. whisky and Heineken
I love whiskey, but just not healthy to drink it as much as I want lol
Hope this is a good alternative
I've tried only the Ritual. To me it isn't good. Tastes like chew spit is what I got out of it.... Great video though!
I am working with a few guys who are coming up with something might be good will keep you posted.
I commend you for making this video. I can see the disappointment, especially when you drink that "Lyre" of a whiskey.
HAHAH thanks more coming for sure I am 55 days sober and sticking with it :) Thanks for the comment!

Awesome video, thanks for trying them. Ironicly I'm drinking my Jack Daniels on the rocks while watching you though! :D

This is silly. He compared it to Lagavulin. This would be more useful were you making old fashioned. Wouldn’t expect it to work straight
Would of definitely had a go a mix the whiskeys up
High hopes - all gone😂😂😂😂 great review! Thx
Ok 👌 we’ll described. Perhaps Monday 😄✔️
Nice review Jb
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼😂😂😂
I tried Monday and was SO disappointed. Tasted like stale old decaffeinated diet coke with cayenne pepper in it. Found this video to see if there's anything remotely like whiskey out there.
With the bite of the Money, and the smokiness of the Ritual, would you suppose that you could mix them and get more whiskey essence?
Great questions!! I am back on my N/A videos and we will do that. I also have N/A champaign we will do a video on for the New Year and N/A Beer :) Thanks for the suggestion might as well try!
재미있는 리뷰 정말 감사합니다. 매력있는 방송이네요!
Folks, these are not meant for sipping. They are meant for mixing.
I should have read the reviews on ritual before I purchased it! It’s flavored water! Never again!
Does it give you any kind of buzz?
No not at all -
Do you have any update videos? Did you try the “mixture” approach?
I have been drinking Hard Ketones and they are working on a mixture I will update for sure - thanks for asking!
Thanks for these!
I did a similar thing with near beers a few months ago. So far, I like O'Doul's the best.
If you like amber beers, try HellRaiser by Wellbeing. It's my favorite NA
Athletic brewing has an absolutely believable IPA.
@@joshuarose3081 run wild is amazing
Partake is my favourite for beers. Blonde and Hazy IPA is the best. Free Spirit if you like IPA’s as well as Le BockAle
Nice work JB! Hope to see you soon and have an NA together. Tim Power
Thanks Tim!!!

Gina - thank you!!! Trying to get UA-cam going with some fun stuff so you made my day today. That is why I make content - you rock!

@@ginahollomon3493 I enjoyed Monday Gin and felt it was good with Tonic.
I miss bourbon’s…. I can’t imagine any of these fake ones would do anything positive for me, if they can’t mock the real thing.
I bought a non-alcoholic whiskey once. Tried it, dumped it, and went back to Jim Beam on the rocks. But glad to see the straight up taste test!
I guess I will stay with my Diet Coke.
Saul goodman after retirement
HAHAH I get that A LOT lmao :
So if you had to sum up the taste of the ritual in one word…
Water
Saul Goodmans new job is whiskey tasting
Good enough for me I’m a social none drinker .
lol "poor the rest of them down the sink" rofl
Hehehe
Thanks for the honest review. I think it's more honest than most.
Yay "cooking" whiskey! 😂
And thats why they call it spiritless_ a Kentuckian would call it a sin.
Mans looks like a swiggy Tony Hawk.
Hehe I don’t want his looks - I want his health!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAH :) Thanks man for the comment

Think this guy sounds like Saul Goodman? Close you eyes and listen to Jordan Peterson
This stuff is so overpriced for flavoured water, these are just a con.
When I want alcohol free drinks, Water, Juice, Coffee, Tea and occasional soda pops, are simply what I stick with....
Being Muslim 🙂
Him reviewing those, reminds me of this! Lol ua-cam.com/video/MAO7k8vkHtU/v-deo.html
What if you mix them ?
lol the review based on confusion is very funny.
A diehard ? Oh alacholic lmao
