In 2000, John Glaser created the first-ever Blended Grain Whisky released to the market. He called it Hedonism. The Scotch whisky landscape was changed forever. Over the past 23 years, Hedonism has remained a core part of the Compass Box brand, winning numerous awards and becoming a staple in many whisky fans’ cabinets. The caliber of whiskies we need for Hedonism has grown ever harder to find, which is why our first-ever expression will become a Limited Annual Release going forward. For the first batch, we have turned to more mature whiskies aged almost entirely in first-fill Bourbon barrels.
Hedonism 2024 contains the last of our stocks of grain whiskies distilled in the 1990s, a period when some of the distilleries featured used maize in their mashes. This brings an enhanced buttery weight to the overall composition.
You can expect a complex array of patisserie aromas, with exotic vanilla and clove-infused caramel. Layers of creamy custard arrive on the palate, with accents of honey and mascarpone. At the finish, a delicate citrus accent appears.
