Compass Box Hedonism Limited Annual Release 2024.
The Celebration of the Deliciousness of Grain WhiskyIn 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 calibre of whiskies needed for Hedonism has grown ever harder to find, which is why this first ever expression will become a Limited Annual Release going forward. For the first batch they have turned to more mature whiskies aged almost entirely in first-fill Bourbon barrels.
Hedonism 2024 contains the last of their 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.
