Glen Dochus Export Blend Non Alcoholic Whiskey, Award Winning Aromatic and Warming Scottish Non Alcoholic Spirits - Halal, Low Sugar and Gluten Free, Part of the Spirits of Virtue Range (700ml)

I've had real whiskey/whisky, and I've had variations of non-alcoholic offerings. This product has a cool bottle, and the color is reminiscent of whiskey. However, it both smells and tastes like vomit. The flavor is a horrible blend of honey and something acidic. I could see what they were trying to go for, but the end result made it taste like puke. I tried having it cold over ice, in a mocktail with lime juice + simple syrup, or even adding some pepper flakes + cinnamon to distract my taste buds...while these alterations did improve the taste ever-so-slightly, there was still the remaining puke flavor left on the palate. I'm going to (try to) finish drinking it because I hate wasting money, but I won't buy this again. Yuck!

Taste is a subjective thing; I will not attempt to describe the flavor profile of the product other than to indicate that it does indeed taste like a scotch. Instead, I'll speak as a person who loves all aspects of whiskey-- both the flavor and the burn-- but who had to abandon alcohol for my health. My expectations for this product were low. I love whiskey immensely, and I once even took pride in such things like an ability to roughly estimate the mash bill of a whiskey after a few sips. But this product has no mash bill. It is not a whiskey. It's an imitation. With this is mind, I ask only for an approximation. Something to remind me of the feeling of drinking after a long day of work, but without any of the risks associated with alcohol. This product does (almost) exactly that. It tastes enough like a whiskey to enjoy with just a little ice and to forget that it is not liquor in my hand, but a harmless substitute. That said, I personally appreciate the burn of alcohol. This product delivers zero burn, and thus doesn't really feel like drinking whiskey without a little modification. I find that spices such as red pepper (and the stuff used in products like Ritual's tequila) do a poor job as those linger in a way unlike ethanol. But I find that some ginger extract helps to roughly approximate the alcohol burn that I still love. So I always mix a bit of that in my drink. Wonderful product. I hope whiskey substitutes like this one continue to be produced. Perhaps one day we'll get one that gives the same sort of bite that alcohol does . But until then, this is will be my standby.

Worst taste ever. Bought 2 bottles to start, I could not even return the unopened bottle. I was looking for a nonalcoholic scotch that had the same taste as Dewars

Good alternative. Smokey flavor. Good mixed with ginger ale

Does not taste like any Scotch I have ever had.

This product does mot taste like scotch. It has a somewhat pleasant flavor but will not satisfy one’s need for a scotch substitute. Also, more costly.

The smell reminded me a lot of Scotch. Very smoky with some sweet dried fruit, spice, and a little bitterness. It messed with my head a little bit to smell the familiar scent of Scotch but with no burn whatsoever, even on the nose. I poured some in a glass and sipped neat. This also messed with my head as there were a lot of flavors: subtle sweetness, honey, black tea, bubblegum?, some spice, dried fruit, and a heavy smoky finish. However there was no burn and it was heavy in the mouth rather than light— with a mouthfeel more like a room temperature black tea. Not necessarily in a bad way, just different. I really enjoyed the many flavors though and felt Glen Dochus did a great job seeking out the flavor profile of a blended Scotch. Not identical, but a great nonalcoholic option for someone seeking similar flavors. It was nice to have a half a glass late at night, after a workout, and not have the drink mess up my sleep, and to wake up with a clear head. Looking forward to making a mocktail with this product. I will be enjoying a bottle quite regularly, I’m thinking!

I really wanted to like this because its from Scotland and had a cool bottle, so I was quite primed to like it. And then, yeah, the taste. I'm not sure if whoever invented this has ever had a whisky. Whisky has heather and honey and salt and smoke and it has a bite. This stuff tastes like a butterscotch candy from you grandmothers purse that is sweat and generally good but also has a strange funk to it. Like butterscotch mixed with a rather aged orange and maybe some purse lint. I get we're ten years out, at least, from creating anything palatable and resembling whisky, so good first effort I suppose, and please keep trying because this is not the end point.

This tastes really aweful. I have had non alcohol Heinicken,Corona Beer and even Guiness and it isn't too bad but this whiskey and downright terrible.Tastes like medicine.

Incredible drink ( must have it mixed with Ginger Ale) Loved this !

They may call this a Non-Alcoholic Whiskey, it fails to be any resemblance of Whiskey. I have been a long lover of Single Malt Whiskey and Scotland should be ashamed to have this declared as a product of Scotland. Ended up dumping it down the drain as it was not even usable as a mixer.

It is better with ice, but not like the real stuff! LOL

Smells exactly the way it should but the flavour is quite smokey, definitely needs to be mixed.
