Philters are non-alcoholic spirits for drinkers looking for an alternative to the high-ABV rums, mezcals, whiskeys, and other spirits they usually see on shelves. The brand is all about forging the same atmosphere and social aspect of drinking without the hangover and other harmful health effects. Philters is about creating a healthy lifestyle while enjoying a nice (NA) cocktail.

The Philters collection includes a non-alcoholic gin, mezcal, whiskey, and rum, each with a unique name that sounds like the spirit it’s meant to emulate. Jynn is a juniper-forward, floral, herbal spirit perfect for your favorite gin-based drinks. Mezkahl is a non-alcoholic take on a well-made mezcal’s classic, mellow, agave flavors. Wiski is an alternative to whiskey that’s known for its smoky, malty, complex flavor profile. Ruhm is Philters’ non-alcoholic take on a classic spiced rum with a ton of clove, cinnamon, and island spices.

If there's one state that's showcasing where this movement is all headed, it might just be Colorado.

There, producers are sourcing local grains from nearby farms and crafting something distinctly Coloradan. They are taking advantage of all the things that make Colorado terroir special—the climate, the elevation, the soils. And the results are bringing delightful new flavors to the American whiskey flavor wheel.

It was founded in 1826 by Magnus Eunson, a man who was a descendant of the Vikings. The brand makes its notable lightly peat-smoked single malt whiskies today with this Viking spirit.

Recently, this popular brand announced it would be launching its oldest single malt whisky. To say this is a timeless, memorable expression is an understatement.
