Gnista Barreled Oak Non-Alcoholic Spirit

When Erika Ollén first heard that non-alcoholic spirits were making waves in the world, she got really excited. But, after sampling a couple of them, a kick of disappointment set in. They were delicious and healthy, but none of them could actually replace their alcoholic counterparts. So, she founded Gnista and set out to find those defining characteristics — if one were to challenge the taste of spirits, what would be the right amount of acidity? Of tannins? Of bitterness? After talking to a number of mixologists and bartenders, the team at Gnista managed to create a dark, intense, and complex product that faithfully served its intended purpose — to offer a healthier, low-calorie but still a flavor-packing spirit that would make an indistinguishable alternative to a cocktail made with its alcoholic rival.

Gnista Barrelled Oak is their second 0 ABV offering — a profoundly complex imitation of bourbon, mightily dry and smoky, with heat brought upon by habanero chilies. The earthy and fruity flavor profile is complemented by the intensity of oak barrels, warm spices, and chocolate rye. If you’re a cognac enthusiast, this is doubtlessly a must-try — just pour it over the rocks, mix it with a soda, or use it as a base for your cocktails.
