Nose
Crushed violets, candied orange peel, dark honey, and warm oloroso raisins over a bed of toasted almond.
Palate
Rich dried fig, bitter cocoa, Seville marmalade, and a thread of rose Turkish delight lifted by gentle cinnamon.
Finish
Long and perfumed, leaving damson jam, walnut oil, and a final whisper of iris root.
Expert Review
8.5/10Named for the goddess of the rainbow, Iris is a prismatic expression from the Lake District — sherry-soaked, floral, and gleaming with Cumbrian light.
