Compass Box Hedonism Well, I guess I had at one point opened this, which is a bummer, because I didn’t write down tasting notes, and I’ve owned the tasting collection from Compass for what must be four years. Look: pretty light. Somewhere between straw and a light orange. Almost like a Pilsner. Nose: I sense maybe this being open for years may have hurt this a bit. Or I haven’t had enough whisky lately. This has more American whiskey notes, vanilla, sweetness, really that’s all I’m picking up sadly. Palate: up front is that barrel, vanilla, custard, but a little more shows that fruits, more scotch note. Slight pear/apple. Finish: barrel, vanilla. This is really barrel forward, but kind of fun. I’d like to try this fresh when the bottle isn’t open. Overall: I’d say this is a good thing to try, pretty unique from my Scotch experience
