Compass Box Hedonism

A true regal lady. Refined vanilla.

43% abv Non-chill filtered Natural color Nose: Vanilla, and lots of it. Also cream soda, faint caramel and cola notes. Taste: rich, sweet and creamy, with a deep, delicate and decadent vanilla taking center stage. Also walnut/almond; tiramisu; graham cracker; coffee bean; nutmeg; touch of cinnamon and tapioca pudding. Finish: long and warming. Vanilla rides with you all the way to the end, along with a touch of dark chocolate, graininess, slight peppery barrel note and cinnamon apple cider. Value: $100. Worth it. Final thoughts: If you have a sweet tooth, this is the dram for you. This is a ”dessert whisky” at heart, but i find this enjoyable at any time. While not quite as interesting as it’s close (and cheaper) cousin The Spice Tree, this single grain blend from Compass Box is worth putting on your radar for the simple reason that it’s just so damn delicious. 4/5 Highly recommend buying a bottle

N - vanilla, light fruits, creamy T - banana pudding mixed with those circle vanilla wafer cookies. Rich and sweet F - light spice like a light bourbon followed again by a rich sweetness I haven’t really had a whisky like this before but it is fantastic. Can see novice and experienced whisky drinkers alike loving this. I’ve tried King Street before and this is more special even considering the cost difference. First bottle of Compass Box I’ve purchased and I’m glad I did!

Great on the nose, sweet finish. Complexitively smooth. Absolutely a must have.

Reminds me of a certain scotch that starts with an L, but better. The difference between someone offering you Handel’s ice cream verses Dairy Queen.

I didn't rated it 5.0 because I haven't tasted everything out there. Still I highly recommend it, Its so different of any whisky I have tasted before. Nose is smooth sweet, citrus & vanilla. Long lasting finish. This will blow your mind!

Tropical flavors like I’ve never experienced in any other Scotch.
