An exceptional diversion from our sherry-led signature style, we are delighted to introduce Iris, the latest Whiskymaker’s Edition.
Iris reveals the world in a different light. A prismatic play of colours, aromas and flavours, everything is turned up to the max and the everyday is suddenly transformed into a vivid multi-sensory explosion of fun.
Inspired by the magnificent Himalayan town of Gulmarg – meaning “meadow of flowers” – this bold and uplifting expression showcases our whiskymaker’s sense of adventure as we explore the creation of intensely tropical, modern flavour profiles.

Intensely fruity and floral, Iris is a veritable flavour spectrum bursting with freshly-harvested crisp red apple and juicy pear punctuated with a fragrant honeysuckle counter melody.
Released on Thursday 27 April, at 56% ABV and non-chill filtered, The Whiskymaker’s Editions Iris is natural in colour and available at LakesDistillery.com and from specialist whisky retailers in the UK and internationally.
