Compass Box Hedonism 2026 Annual Release Blended Grain Scotch Whisky (Karen Gillan)
In stock
The original blended grain Scotch whisky, reimagined.
Hedonism 2026 is the oldest and rarest Hedonism Compass Box have ever released, crafted from some of their most mature grain whiskies, with components aged up to 31 years. Richer and darker than previous editions, it remains unmistakably Hedonism: creamy, elegant, and quietly powerful.
Layers of caffè latte, butterscotch, and orange cream open the palate. Rich notes of nougat, toasted hazelnut, and fine wood sugars follow, finishing with lingering milk chocolate. Silky, indulgent, and beautifully poised.
Pair with silky Parma ham and fresh pear for a refined, savoury offering. Sweet and salted popcorn brightens the whisky’s aromatics, while chewy stroopwafel amplifies its spice and caramel. For the ultimate foray into all things Hedonism, pour slightly chilled into a large wine glass and pair with coffee & walnut cake.
