The Lyre’s Highland Malt Style is the world’s first true-to-taste whisky style single malt, impossibly crafted in a rich and complex palette of seasoned oak, nutty grain, warm spices, and a touch of smoke.
Lyre’s spirits don’t just mimic. We’ve captured the essence of a blended malt whisky with a balanced array of and rich aromas in an authentic amber hue. Take a moment to relax with the mature and dignified Lyre’s Highland Malt.
A tipple sans the sauce. That’s neat.
As my Uncle Willie McDuff used to say, ‘the rain always falls downward until you lie on your back’.
This meticulously crafted homage to a timeless classic is an exquisite melange of the finest flavours, evoking notes
of the finest grains, toffees, peat and oaks.
It’s also rather delish.
How to Enjoy: As a classic mixer, try with Time-honoured tipples, like soda for a classic Whisky Highball. Or a Manhattan with Lyre’s Aperitif Rosso for a jolly non-alcoholic whiskey sour.
Bouquet: A balanced and rich aroma of hay, grain cereal, stone fruit, banana, almond and vanilla. The subtle additions of sea spray and lightly charred oak add to the complexity.
To Taste: There is a lovely depth in flavour to the Highland Malt with a natural influence of seasoned oak, nutty grain, and warm spices. The welcomed smoke contributes lift to the soft palate and balances the length which is focused and rewarding.
Libations!
