What is Lyre's American Malt Bourbon Alternative?

Lyre's American Malt is a premium non-alcoholic whiskey alternative — sold by the case for trade. Rather than removing alcohol from a finished spirit, Lyre's builds flavor from the ground up using natural essences, distillates and extracts, mirroring the aroma, depth and mouthfeel of a classic whiskey while staying <0.5% ABV. The result is vegan, gluten-free, and designed to be mixed 1:1 in the cocktails you already know. Zepeim is the proud US distributor.
