I am extremely disappointed with this… I am extremely disappointed with this product. We got the Whiskey Alternative and it is extremely smokey and spicy; it does not taste remotely like whiskey. It’s more like a bad mixer. Have been trying to get a refund from RZ since the store we bought it from will not refund opened bottles. When I emailed about the problem and it was discovered we bought it at a store and not online, haven’t been able to get a response about a refund for some reason. Hopefully it’s just an oversight, but very unimpressed despite all the “rave reviews”.

We had hoped that the whiskey… We had hoped that the whiskey alternative we bought would taste a little bit like whiskey based on the explanation of research that was written about the process of developing it. Unfortunately we didn't like it at all and threw it out. It was too spicy and burned the back of our throats. Even after using it to make several drinks instead of drinking it straight it was terrible. The idea was good and we really wish we could have liked something about it but it really tasted bad.

Presentation and bottle are a 5 Presentation and bottle are a 5. Very appealing to the eye and looks luxurious. The first sip with nothing else added was very strong like alcohol; had a bite to it- spicy. I need to try a real recipe with it to see if it changes the flavor. I know it's not real alcohol and there's no affects when drinking it so that's always a bummer. But for a mock-cocktail its a great alternative. I only say a 4 because the flavor wasn't my favorite.

Shipped fast, works in Coke Shipped fast, zero proof whiskey works well in coke, haven't tried many other mixed drinks yet but was impressed by the simulated Jack and Coke. Doesn't taste much like whiskey on its own, no burn or bite though they seem to have a somewhat spicey finish, maybe from the peppercorn? It's a bit delayed though, drinking it straight or near straight will spoil the illusion. Overall I recommend it, there's not much out there like it.

The whiskey alternative is horrendous… The whiskey alternative is horrendous and more so a Scotch alternative than a bourbon alternative. Super smokey on the noise, SWEET, and horrendously spicy for no apparent reason other than to emulate the alcohol burn. The tequila is a slightly better representation but also way too peppery on the finish. I asked my husband if he added jalepeno to my margarita. It's THAT spicy. I'm dreading the gin because gin is my favorite spirit. I just don't think I can stomach it if it's anything like the whiskey.
