CLEANCO NON-ALCOHOLIC WHISKEY, London

The oak and vanilla are immediately noticeable on the nose, and the smooth, slightly spicy finish really surprised me. It’s perfect for sipping neat when I want the ritual without the alcohol.

The oak and vanilla notes actually come through beautifully when I sip it neat, and the apple finish is surprisingly complex for a non-alcoholic drink. It’s become my go-to for a quiet evening wind-down without the buzz.

I was skeptical at first, but the way the oak and vanilla notes come through without any alcohol burn is genuinely impressive. Mixed it with ginger ale and it gave me that same satisfying sipping experience I used to get with the real thing.
