Jess!! Haha yes I'm back, this is my second channel, my other one got wrecked by me, anyways I gotta say I've never heard of any spiritless whiskey, but after watching your review, I'm not sure if I'd want it myself, great honest review, cheers and happy new year and best wishes for 2023 😊👍
So hard, because these alternatives are literally not alcohol. They are night and day. Not the same product. I do appreciate the effort though. Because with more effort and competition, at some point, someone will nail it. Let’s keep hoping. Happy new year Jess. Cheers!
Exactly- no one should go into these expecting the same experience as whiskey. But, these two particular bottles were so far from whiskey that it really made me wondered if they had whiskey lovers test them before going to market. It’s kinda bonkers. But I’m curious to do the cocktail test- maybe that will change my opinion!
LOL. Love this! We have 2 bottles of 0%ABV "whiskies" manufacturers sent us for free many months ago but have been putting off this episode because we are dreading it too. LOL. Ironically, we agreed 2 days ago to finally shoot it next week. Cool episode and honest!
Thank you so much for watching! And yeah- curious to hear your thoughts here. I was underwhelmed and overwhelmed in the same sip... not a good look. LOL!! PS- "The Manhattan Project" is the coolest name for a drinking channel ever.
Agree. It just feels like they might be trying a little too hard. Or maybe they're not trying hard enough? Reminds me of that scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshal'... "do LESS... well, I mean, you have to do more than THAT". LOL!
Smells like Band-aids... followed by "This is not unpleasant"... hmm... I decided to give up giving up alcohol, so this doesn't really apply to me, but like you, we host a lot and I have sober friends and friends who should be sober... For some, it would be nice to give them something realistic... For the ones in the program over a decade, they have zero care about anything tasting like alcohol and just don't mind mixing some juices I have.
Jess, I love how you are always honest with your reviews. Definitely worth trying if you choose not to drink.
Thanks so much, Dave!! 🥃

all the best in 2023 my friend 🎉
Thank you, Chappy! And same to you!! 🥂
You should try Monday non alcoholic whiskey. Like that brand
I’ve heard good things about that one- will do!
@@SavidgeKitchen mind you, like you said too, it's not whiskey, but still tastes just like something nice to drink in a mocktail :)
my experience is that Ritual tastes like BBQ sauce and 74 tastes like watered down alcohol
That’s a great assessment- totally agree
Fingers crossed that one day a 0%ABV gets the flavours right...

Getting older and my body can't handle scotch and whiskey like it used to
Looking for part 2? Haha
