GBThe 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.
P.S. Favorite
GBI 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”.

GBLove the idea but unfortunately the… Love the idea but unfortunately the execution was off. I tried the tequila alternative but it was too peppery. Might be good in a bloody Mary or something calling for mezcal. Will not be experimenting with the others as theses bottles are not cheap

GBAn Excellent Alternative! I was surprised by how well Ritual was able to replicate the notes in tequila/gin/whiskey (especially with zero calories)...I am loving having nightly elixirs without the morning hangover. The tequila is spicy on its own, which might be too strong for some people, but I LOVE it.

GBUnexpected, but enjoyable. This did not meet precisely what I was hoping for, but perhaps what I am looking for doesn't exist yet! I used to sip and shoot whiskey straight with a chaser and was hoping for something that could give me the similar tastes and sensations drinking that way as I am no longer able to drink alcohol due to medical concerns. However - I am in no way dissatisfied with the product and will absolutely use it as a mixer to create drinks with as intended! In that capacity it is a game changer. I will definitely restock and keep this Ritual Whiskey in my home. It gives me an option I didn't even think I had!
