Glen Dochus Export Blend Non Alcoholic Scotch Whisky, 0.0% ABV, 700ml

This does not taste like anything resembling whisky. It actually tastes terrible. It tastes like perfume or something chemical. It is so bad that I feel scammed by my purchase. I cannot actually describe the taste except to say that it has a slightly floral smell. It has a quick peppery start and a long artificial chemical finish like saccharine or something similar except that it was watered down tasting. I am not kidding do not buy this product.

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.

Horrible. Tastes NOTHING like a decent Scotch.

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!

Great strong flavors, even a slight “burn”. After trying almost all the bourbon substitutes on the market, this one is as close to the real thing as you can get!

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!

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.

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.

It doesn't taste like whiskey at all. I would never buy again. I don't even know what to do with this.? Maybe it will clean my sink drain. Yuck!! And the price is ridiculous.

Taste like medicine

Excellent goût pour ceux qui aiment le whisky!

This is absolute crap. 40 bucks for a bottle of swill. This stuff is a joke. Don’t buy it. Tastes like something whipped up by a bunch of of old hippies.

This tastes nothing like whiskey. Don't waste your money
