Reviews

Awesome

"This drink I have found to be absolutely flavourful enjoyable with a slight tint of pepper at the back of the throat while drinking it absolutely recommend it. . ! Look forward to purchasing some more in the near future !👍🥃"

Simon D. (5/5)

"Absolute disgusting taste. No resemblance to either malt whiskey or dark rum. Straight down the sink"

Mr (1/5)

"Great product with just enough kick! Good on the rocks or a mocktail old fashioned. Quick arrival as well."

Martin (5/5)

Great for manhattans

"This is really wonderful for a Manhattan. I so prefer it to Ritual's alcohol free bourbon."

Elizabeth A. (5/5)

"Has a slight hint of smoke, oak, and vanilla. Mouth feel of straight water. When poured over ice all flavors disappear and it tastes like drinking water out of a glass that has something in it previously. Not impressed, will not purchase again."

David (1/5)

A little something different

"I wasn’t sure how much like bourbon it was going to be. It has that kick to it that you can’t quite put your finger on, and mixes well to make an old fashioned or manhattan. I was pleasantly surprised."

Alicia G. (5/5)

Disappointed

"I really wanted to like this, but the dominant taste is tap water. This is far too much to pay for what tastes like whiskey squash. Same cost as a cheap bourbon with alcohol but a large portion of that is government tax. Won't be coming back for more :-("

Jarek A. (1/5)

"The best non alcoholic bourbon i have sver had, will be looking at other offers they have"

Murray (5/5)

Great title, consider this a viable alternative to bourbon.

"Great mixed with Pepsi Max, a great alternative for those days you are unable to consume alcohol."

George P. (5/5)

Martin

"Lyre’s American Malt is excellent — remarkably close to whisky in flavour, with warm oak, vanilla and smoky notes, but without the alcohol or the headache the next day. One of the most convincing alcohol-free alternatives I’ve tried."

Martin B. (5/5)
