Review

My eyebrows lifted in surprise when I tasted the malty, smoky tones – I was not expecting such a very good approximation to a classic American malt whiskey.  It’s smooth, and easy, and almost seems to have a bit of a bite to it. I sat and sipped this neat throughout the evening and got a real buzz from it (I usually try to photograph the bottles before they’re halfway empty but the fact that I failed with this is a tribute to it deliciousness.) The first taste is inevitably a bit more watery than a classic whiskey, because the mouth-filling ethanol bite of a true spirit is missing, but once you’ve got passed that, it’s a revelation.

Makers Notes

This unique spirit has been impossibly crafted to capture the essence of a gently mellowed American Classic Bourbon Malt with flavors that are distinct and contemporary. Lyre’s spirits don’t just mimic, they have their own distinction as a premium, non-alcoholic beverage.
To Taste: Generous flavors of vanilla and toasted nuts with herbal notes providing a complexity, offset by a long mellow finish. The gently spiced palate results in the flavors remaining well after finishing.
How To Enjoy: Enjoy with your favourite premium mixer such as cola. A natural for classic cocktails including the Old Fashioned or an excellent Boulevardier with Lyre’s Aperitif Rosso and  Lyre’s Italian Orange.
