Details
Easily the best attempt at a non-alcoholic malt whisky yet, the Lyre's Traditional Reserve tastes like everything you'd expect a great malt whisky to taste. Caramel, spice, cinnamon, nutty oak and a touch of smoke. The team even use special spice additions to emulate the late palate warmth. A truly fascinating drink!

Pairing guide
Given just how closely this follows traditional alcoholic whisky flavours, it's only natural to be leaning towards some classic whisky pairings. Cheese, especially cheddar, gouda or even earthy comte would work wonderfully here, as would smoked meats and hearty bean soups. The caramel sweetness means that coffee or caramel desserts are a surprise match too, although leaning more towards the savoury side than something ultra sweet.
