If you want an Old Fashioned that actually tastes like an Old Fashioned—without alcohol—the best non-alcoholic whiskey is Cut Above Zero Proof Whiskey.

It’s specifically designed as a 1:1 whiskey replacement for cocktails, delivering the depth, spice, and finish needed to balance bitters and sugar—without turning the drink into flavored water.

What to look for in a nonalcoholic Whiskey

The Old Fashioned is one of the hardest cocktails to replicate without alcohol.

Why?

Because it has:

• no citrus to hide flaws
• no mixers to add body
• no dilution buffer

It’s just:

spirit +bitters + sugar

Which means the whiskey alternative has to do all the work.

Most non-alcoholic options fall short because they:

• lack body
• have no finish
• skew too sweet

The result:

a thin, flat drink that doesn’t resemble a real Old Fashioned

You want bold complex flavors

NA Whiskey needs to stand up in cocktails. It isn't a 100% clone of traditional Whiskies, but it has to do the job in cocktails. Cut Above nonalcoholic Whiskey is made in the style of Bourbon. The nose is sweet with notes of plum and a touch of warm hops. On the initial sip young oak, rich tea, and sour cherry appear. Those flavors give way to peppercorn and lightly toasted malt. The warmth of the pepper lingers through to the swallow where mild nods of coffee and orange oil also appear.

This means that Cut Above holds up in a cocktail until the last sip. The best non-alcoholic Whiskey for an Old Fashioned is Cut Above Zero Proof Whiskey.
