HEDONISM, COMPASS BOX, 43% ABV

The first whisky created by Compass Box in 2000, and a signature whisky for the company. A unique and award-winning Blended Grain Scotch Whisky. Rare and old this is a whisky that will appeal to both the ardent whisky enthusiast and newcomers alike.

The inspiration behind is just that – pleasure, enjoyment, a celebration of that ideal marriage between distilled spirit and high quality oak maturation.

Grain whisky category has kind of been overshadowed by its sister categories, notable Single Malts, and grain whisky is more commonly known as a component for blended whiskies. Hedonism truly helps bring this category to the world stage and what more, blended grain!

Tasting Notes

Notes of vanilla cream, toffee and coconut on a supple frame.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

We find this extremely comforting in a highball after a long day too!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
