Alcohol-free whisky is a ridiculous idea
Colin Joliat Last week I introduced you to the first 100% alcohol-free beer. Before that it was beer for your dog that didn’t contain any actual alcohol. Now, it’s a whisky-flavored drink, and it’s gone too far.
ArKay, the world’s first alcohol free whisky flavored drink is designed for the socialite to the construction worker. The exceptional taste of whisky without the alcohol making a perfect beverage that anyone can consume. The design of ArKay was to allow anyone with medical conditions or with religious beliefs to drink without guilt. ArKay tastes and looks exactly like traditional whisky. It is suitable for drinking straight up, on the rocks, or with soda or your favorite mixers.
First of all, socialites don’t drink whisky and construction workers don’t drink not to get drunk. Second, when people use the term “drink,” they are referring to alcohol. So no, people with medical conditions or religious beliefs still can’t drink without guilt whenever they want. Tasting like alcohol does not mean it’s a drink in that context. I’ve had enough Vodka-Red Bulls in my day that the energy drink alone still tastes the the cocktail to me. Does that mean that I am going to invite a friend out for a drink and then casually sip a Red Bull out of a martini glass? Obviously not.
ArKay is also known as ‘halal whisky,” so it’s clear that they had Muslims in mind while creating the product. Admittedly I don’t have a large group of Muslim friends, so maybe there is a demand for this, but I just don’t see it. I can’t imagine people sitting around sipping something that tastes like booze, but offers none of the effects from it. I love the taste of many whiskys, but not so much that I wouldn spend a penny on them if they didn’t contain alcohol. Maybe I’m wrong and this tastes like the nectar of the gods. I’d have to try it, in which case I’d gladly recant my statement, but the chances are one in a million, and I’m not an optimist like Lloyd Christmas.
