In only the first year of launch, standing true to the brand’s tagline "the finest range of non-alcoholic classic spirits the world has ever seen," Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic Spirits has been awarded 46 medals across the globe!

From competitions such as San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) and the London Spirit Awards, Lyre's has proven time and time again that the high-quality liquid surpasses competing non-alcoholic spirits and stands strong even when measured against their alcoholic counterparts!

SFWSC is one of the most influential spirits competitions in the world, judged by a panel of 52 leading industry experts. This year's competition was the biggest in its history, featuring almost 3,000 entries in various categories. The portfolio now surpasses all other brands in the category, having claimed the most awards for flavor and taste.

It was not so long ago that desiring a low or no alcohol drink meant compromising on taste. Enter Lyre’s –

SO HOW DOES LYRE'S REVIEW?

GOLD

Gold medals were awarded to Lyre’s Aperitif Rosso and Dark Cane Spirit.

SILVER

Silver medals were awarded to Aperitif Dry, Amaretti, Coffee Originale, and Spiced Cane Spirit.

BRONZE

In addition, Lyre’s Orange Sec, Dry London Spirit, White Cane Spirit, and American Malt were recognized with bronze medals.

“The San Francisco World Spirits Competition has seen an increase in non-alcoholic entries in the past few years, and this is the first year that they have placed exceptionally well with Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic Spirits,” said Anthony Dias Blue, the competition’s founder and executive director.

Other award milestones include Lyre’s Aperitif Rosso receiving a double gold from the 2019 SommCon’s Concours d’Spirits competition presented by The Somm Journal, one of only five double gold medals presented across all categories and the only non-alcoholic product to be judged blind by the tasting panel against full-strength counterparts. Lyre’s Orange Sec, White Cane Spirit, and Aperitif Dry received silver medals.

“It is brilliant to see Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic Spirits honoured with such a prestigious set of awards, and I am even more pleased to see non-alcoholic spirits participating in and winning awards at competitions like the San Francisco World Spirits Competition,” says Mark Livings, Lyre's CEO and Co-Founder. “As the movement toward lower ABV and zero-proof drinks continues to rise, Lyre’s offers consumers an option to enjoy their drink, their way. We believe our collective medals from highly controlled blind tasting competitions make Lyre’s the most awarded non-alcoholic spirit brand globally and undeniably reinforce the credibility of this new category and our range and flavour leadership."
