Hedonism succeeds in putting Compass Box on my whiskey map with striking craftsmanship and a giant ‘X.’ It’s truly delightful. I genuinely wish I could keep this one around at all times. On the nose, you’ll find rich toasted notes, vanilla, caramel and coconut. On the palate this dram is creamy and incredibly smooth. The essence of vanilla cake batter, as called out by my fellow tasters, brings an airy lightness. The whiskey itself isn’t thin, rather, this element brings a full mouth feel and a welcomed presence without being overbearing. This one enters with humility, then opens up with intriguing confidence. As you finish, Hedonism lingers, allowing you to enjoy the experience in stereo. There’s a lot of depth to explore and this one doesn’t leave you wanting more. Simply stellar. (FWF $10 Dram [4th] share #39) Opened: 05/08/20 Finished: 09/02/20
