Lyre's American Malt - Non-Alcoholic Spirit, Bourbon Style, Premium, 700ml

Bought for my mum who gave up alcohol, but she raved about it so much I had to try. Really good flavour, as close to the real thing as I have found for her.

I decided to disregard some of the more negative reviews given for this product in the hope that I would be pleasantly surprised, but alas, that was not to be the case, this product is nothing more than slightly flavoured water.It has absolutely no body, virtually no flavour what so ever, and virtually no aroma.For someone who enjoys the experience of drinking a nice glass of bourbon, I was hoping this would be an acceptable substitute when driving duties called, but this product is far from what is says in the description.At the price I have paid for it, rather than throw it away, I purchased a bourbon flavouring to add to it which has now made it just about drinkableI give the seller 10 out of 10 for service and prompt delivery, but unfortunately that is as far as the positive feedback goes.Avoid being disappointed and don't buy this product

Wasn’t expecting much but ordered to make virgin Old Fashioned cocktails.The upside is it has a slight burn on the finish to emulate the feel of a bourbon. Downside is that it tastes exactly 0% like a bourbon.I’ll be drinking it all, but will try something different next time. Perhaps something that isn’t an attempt to taste like any specific type of alcohol?Sadly at £24 this is well over priced (since there are no alcohol taxes here to be pushing the price point up)

Very tasty

Wasn't expecting much from an alcohol free, low calorie bourbon but was pleasantly surprised by this. Drunk neat its like you've left ice in the glass for a while so tried it with ice and it's more than OK. I'm not an expert so it's hard to explain, but it's not that it tastes watery it's more that it doesn't have the same texture as a bourbon. That said, it does taste like a bourbon though and even has that warming bite that a spirit has. I've been drinking it in diet coke and it's absolutely fine. Read a few reveiws that said it smelt bad but I disagree, empty glass even smells like I've been drinking bourbon. Only real gripes are I couldn't work out the how to get the free mixology lesson and all of the cocktail recipes are full of sugar. Sort of defeats the point of a low cal alcohol free spirit if all the recipes are that fattening.

The bottle and appearance is top drawer but when you open the bottle the excitement drops. The smell is so over powering, it's a hint of whisky but it's just too sweet and strong. Now... The taste, the initial sip taste like water, it's far too thin for a whisky. After a few seconds the flavours builds slightly which isn't too bad but not to a whisky standard. I wasn't expecting the afterburn which was surprising but you can tell it's chili because after a while you can feel it on your lips. I tried it with coke and it just reminded me off a JD and Coke but then after 3 or 4 sips of it that faded and the smell just over powers the flavour. I couldn't drink more than a couple of glasses of it. The chilli kick lingers too long and hits more than just your throat, and the smell just gets too much to the point that you feel a bit sicky. The day after sitting at work I got the smell up my nose, it's one of those smells that doesn't do one. I'm gonna add a little Agave Syrup later to see if that sorts the smoothness/thiness out and I've ordered some bourbon Flavours to see if that can add some depth. Alot of money just to get a whisky like drink. It's times like this I wish I never gave up drinking.... I MISS REAL WHISKY 😭😭😭

I desperately wanted to like this. To have a non alcoholic whisky. They can do non alcoholic beer really well so why not whisky.My wife helped me blind taste it compared with a Tin Cup, a gentleman Jack, and a young blended whisky.I could tell immediately by smell which was the "false" whisky. It is like watery pepperTaste was a bit peppery and slightly sweet. But very false and watery. Not thick like a real whisky.The false whisky came a shameful last. It is not drinkable. It is like water mixed with pepper, honey and sweet spice. Not good.I really really really really wanted this to be good but it is not!! Buy a bottle of really whisky instead.Please don't WASTE YOUR MONEY on this "false whisky."

It was gifted and they really enjoyed it , watery to begin with but the flavours pretty good and there's a nice little warmth to it afterwards . Very novel gift and fabulous that is 0.0 will definitely be exploring the other this company is offering .
