Tasting Notes

Located in the western Himalayas, the town of Gulmarg, or "meadow of flowers," served as inspiration for Dhavall Gandhi's creation, The Lakes Whiskymaker's Editions Iris. Departing from the distillery's usual sherry-led style, this whisky embraces a floral and tropical fruit-forward profile. With a generous 56% ABV, the aromas unfold with crunchy red apple, a touch of honey, and the exotic allure of Turkish delight. On the palate, candied citrus, lemon blossom, pear skin, and toasted almond dance harmoniously. The finish lingers with buttery nuts and orchard fruits, leaving a lasting impression of nature's vibrant beauty captured in a glass. Iris is a colorful expression that transports the senses to a meadow in full bloom, inviting whisky enthusiasts to embark on a sensorial journey through the Himalayas.
