Hedonism - Compass Box - Scotch Grain Whisky
Hedonism is our seminal and award winning Scotch grain whisky. We bottle it once or twice per year, depending on our ability to source the quality of casks we require. Rare and old, it’s something special for the collector or the new whisky enthusiast.
Rare, Old Scotch Grain Whisky. Hedonism is unusual in the Scotch whisky world: a 100% Scotch grain whisky. It is very rare to see 100% grain whisky bottling, even in Scotland. Going back 100 years, grain whisky brands were more common, but they were overtaken in popularity by the big brands of blended Scotch, which comprised both grain whisky and malt whisky. Today, most Scotch grain whisky gets blended into the big brand names, typically at young ages. For Hedonism, we search for very old casks of Scotch grain whisky, typically over 20 years in age. And we only bottle Hedonism once or twice a year, when we find casks with the right flavour profile.
Rich, Sweet, Alluring. When good Scotch grain whisky is aged in good quality American oak casks, the results can be stunning: a rich, sweet, alluring whisky, redolent of vanilla, pastry cream and coconut. You’ll find all these things in our Hedonism bottlings. We believe that great Scotch grain whisky is the little-known treasure of the Scotch whisky industry. Our Limited Release Range is based on a philosophy of producing small-lot, single batch Scotch whiskies created from extraordinary casks. Some whiskies in this range we produce on an annual, limited basis (Hedonism), others are one-offs. In this range, we can display some magnificent creations, no matter how small the quantity
