No. 3 American Malt

American malt is the target, and the profile chases toasted grain, vanilla, caramel and oak, with green apple brightness cutting through and toffee and orange peel deeper in. There is a hint of smoke on the finish. Body is the interesting part, because it drinks fuller than most alcohol free whiskeys, which tend to fall apart the moment they hit ice. Ingredients are water, maple syrup and invert sugar with natural flavoring and sugar coloring, and each 1 fl oz pour is 3 calories with half a gram of sugar. A bottle holds around 25 of those. It works best in cocktails that give it something to push against, an Old Fashioned with orange and cherry, a Manhattan with UNDONE's vermouth alternative, or a highball with ginger. On the food side, aim at grilled meat, aged cheese and dark chocolate.
