Alcohol free whiskey

I like a wee whiskey on a Saturday night. But on weeknights I'd like to enjoy the experience of whiskey without the intoxicating effect of alcohol. Any recommendations for low or zero alcohol content spirits?

. Made from girders. Good suggestion.
I'd prefer something a bit stronger though.

I tried some of those alcohol free gins when they were giving bottles of them out at work for free. They try to use herbs and spices to try and recreate the flavours. I think this would be hard to do with whisky. Some of the smoky flavours would be possible but the others will be really hard to match.

I had a quick look on Amazon. According to some reviews it can be done. Lyre's alcohol free whiskey seems to be decent according to reviews. Twenty odd quid to find out though. Did the alcohol free gin give that strong afterglow that spirits tend to do?

Have you considered whisky?

Why didn't I think of that? D'oh!
