One could make the same case for the U.S., but what’s unique about the melting pot we live in is that our restaurant scene represents myriad cultures. It’d be a bit strange if an Italian restaurant in Manhattan had an exclusively American wine list, wouldn’t it?

While it’s challenging to replicate the exact taste of alcoholic whiskey, some non-alcoholic whiskeys come close. Those that do leverage natural flavorings, spices, and even smoked elements to recreate the warmth and depth associated with this beloved spirit.
