Before you buy — an honest note
No. 86 is its own thing.
Oak, smoke, vanilla, and caramel — built from scratch for the slow sip. It's not trying to fool you into thinking you're drinking alcohol. People who want that tend to be disappointed. People who want the ritual without the cost tend to love it.
What it tastes like
Built for sipping.
Smoky oak, vanilla, and caramel with gentle spice and a long dry finish. Fuller-bodied than most NA spirits — rich, smooth, and built to sip neat or over ice.
No. 86 is a premium non-alcoholic sipping spirit inspired by the ritual of whiskey. It delivers oak, smoke, vanilla, caramel, a full body, and a long finish — without the intoxicating effects of alcohol.
No. 86 contains less than 0.5% ABV, which is the same range as many kombuchas, fruit juices, ripe bananas, and naturally fermented foods.
No. 86 is whiskey-inspired, not whiskey-replicated. Instead of copying every aspect of whiskey, it focuses on the parts people enjoy most: rich aroma, full body, oak character, and a satisfying finish.
Yes. No. 86 was designed to be enjoyed neat, over a large ice cube, or in classic whiskey cocktails.
You'll notice warmth from the oak, botanicals, and structure, but it won't create the alcohol burn of traditional whiskey.

The story
Built by a founder in San Diego.
Sean Sailes
Founder
Navy veteran and entrepreneur. Built No. 86 through over 170 formulas in pursuit of a non-alcoholic whiskey worth sipping neat.
We wanted the ritual without paying for it the next morning.
The slow pour. The weight of a glass. The five minutes at the end of a long day that belong to no one else. That's the part we wanted to keep — not the part that costs you the next morning.
No. 86 was built through over 170 formulas, countless tasting sessions, and real-world feedback from whiskey drinkers, bartenders, and hospitality professionals across San Diego.
Today, No. 86 is available online and poured in select bars throughout San Diego.
A small group keeping the ritual alive — the slow pour, the weight of a glass, the five minutes that are yours. First access to the next batch, notes from the build, and 10% off your first order.
