NKD Gin Spirit Alternative is an alcohol-free gin alternative made in Louisville, Kentucky, at the distillery founded by Becca Gardner. It works from a distilled gin base, then strips the alcohol out after distillation, so it keeps the texture and flavour profile of a full-strength spirit. The build is rooted in Old World gin tradition but leans toward the floral and citrus side of contemporary American gin, with organic juniper at its centre alongside coriander, gentian root and citrus peel. The aroma is clean citrus. To taste it is piney up front with juniper leading, then coriander spice and a gentle earthiness, plus orange and lime zest and a kick of black peppercorn. The finish is crisp and earthy. Built for real cocktails, this award-winning product is meant to be mixed rather than sipped neat.
