Iris Tasting Notes

Official tasting notes

Iris reveals the world in a different light, where everything is turned up to the max. Intensely fruity and floral, bursting with crisp red apple and juicy pear with a fragrant honeysuckle counter melody.

Iris reveals the world in a different light – a prismatic play of colours, aromas and flavours, where everything is turned up to the max and the everyday is suddenly transformed in a vivid multi-sensory explosion of fun.

Iris is intensely fruity and floral, a veritable flavour spectrum bursting with freshly-harvested crisp red apple and juicy pear punctuated with a fragrant honeysuckle counter melody.

Ed's review

Colour: Natural colour, bright gold to soft copper. Oily with parallel legs running down the side of the glass.

Nose: Red currants, black currents, and raspberries drizzled with golden syrup. Soft brown sugar laced with cinnamon. Polished oak.

Palate: Medium to full mouthfeel. Rich sherried fruits, full of berries and plums. Red apples and ripe pears bring orchard fruits. Exotic spice and toasted almonds.

Finish: Medium to long. Rich dark fruit fades into a little warming spice that invites another sip.

Overall: Another wonderful release from one of my favourite distilleries.
