About Bourbon Alternative

Lyre's Bourbon Alternative in 700 mL. It was previously sold as American Malt. Vanilla and oak over a light smoke, dry rather than sweet.

Lyre's build their range to answer spirits a bartender already knows, so this pours one to one where the original would. A 30 mL measure is 3 calories and carries no sugar.

In an Old Fashioned or a whiskey sour, or long with cola. Once open, refrigerate and drink within twelve weeks. Contains no alcohol.

About Lyre's Spirit Co
Everything from this producer

Named after the Australian lyrebird, the world's greatest mimic — which is the whole idea.

Mark Livings and Carl Hartmann founded Lyre's in Australia in 2019, setting out to build a range that echoed the classic spirits rather than inventing new flavors.

The name is the method. The lyrebird imitates whatever it hears — other birds, a camera shutter, a chainsaw — and the range is built the same way, each bottle answering a spirit a bartender already knows how to use. That is why the labels say Gin Alternative and Dark Rum Alternative rather than inventing a word for what is in them.

The bottles carry the Social Animals, a cast of characters drawn one to a liquid. The range now runs from the spirits through a sparkling Classico to canned cocktails, and the company sells in more than sixty countries.

New to Whiskey?

Most of what people want from whiskey — vanilla, char, dried fruit — comes from the barrel rather than the spirit, and that part transfers. Producers differ on how they replace the warmth; the ingredient list shows whether it is spice, capsicum, or nothing at all.

Common questions
Is this the same as Lyre's American Malt?
Yes. Lyre's renamed it Bourbon Alternative; the liquid is unchanged. Older bottles and older listings still say American Malt.
How long does it keep once opened?
Twelve weeks, refrigerated, and Lyre's ask you not to store it with a pourer. A 700 mL bottle holds twenty-three 30 mL measures.
How do I mix it?
One to one where the spirit would have gone. In an Old Fashioned or a whiskey sour, or long with cola.
