Lyre's Highland Malt is the Scotch-inspired expression in the brand's malt whisky sub-series, alongside an American-style counterpart. Founded in Melbourne in 2019 by Mark Livings and Carl Hartmann, Lyre's built its range around natural flavour compounds and botanical extracts. Highland Malt is described by the brand as carrying seasoned oak, nutty grain, warm spice and a touch of smoke, with an aroma profile drawing on hay, stone fruit, banana, almond and vanilla. It is positioned as a non-alcoholic whisky within a range that spans classic spirit categories.
