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.

About This Whiskymaker's Edition

The Whiskymaker’s Editions is a series of one-off whiskies. They showcase the sense of adventure of Lakes Distillery's whiskymaker. The Whiskymaker's Editions range is one of The Lakes Distillery's core collections.

Each Edition is an exceptional diversion from The Lakes sherry-led house style. It is an expression of creative freedom. The product of a playground where instinct, experience and inspiration roam free.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

Carbon neutral?

Yes, all our deliveries are carbon neutral. We work with Planet to estimate the carbon impact of each delivery, and then purchase carbon removal credits to offset the emissions.
