A PIONEERING SPIRIT
Creating the world’s first 0% ABV non-alcoholic spirits.
In 2007, a conversation with his son sparked a simple but ambitious question: could a spirit deliver the familiar taste and ritual of liquor without alcohol or the morning after?
That question led to Arkay — a new category of alcohol-free spirits built for people who want to choose how they celebrate.

HOW ARKAY WAS INVENTED
Five years of research, one entirely new experience.
Reynald brought together years of fragrance expertise and a scientific team in Switzerland to develop a distinct alcohol-free spirit experience. The result became the foundation for Arkay’s whisky, vodka, rum, gin and tequila-inspired range.
The achievement was not simply removing alcohol. It was creating a considered alternative that could still feel at home in the moments people share.
