Compass Box Hedonism

Butterscotch and vanilla on the nose, followed by a medley of pecans, toasted cereal, shortbread, and hint of cherries on the palate. Really tasty stuff. The finish is smooth and medium-length. Light and easy to drink, yet quite complex and very well balanced whisky.

Pale hay in color, with sweet notes of honeydew, some toffee/caramel, and beyond that cereal/bakery notes on the nose. Plantain, green apple, and coconut abound. Incredibly light on the palate, a sweet mix of coconut, hazelnut, toffee, amidst a background of vanilla and butterscotch. A confectioner’s delight, multifaceted and complex. The finish lingers, with buttery toffee and vanilla notes outlasting the coconut flavors. For such a light and airy whisky the finish is surprising in both depth and character. Designed to grab the attention of the Scotch whisky world, Hedonism brings grain whisky to the spotlight and does so in a major way. An assemblage of sweet baked goods, melons, and nut flavors, Hedonism draws out the true potential of often-overlooked grain whisky. A true case study in blended grain whisky.
