Compass Box Hedonism Felicitas Blended Grain Whisky
In stock
Hedonism Felicitas draws together three grain whiskies, each distilled in a different decade. Vibrant & stately, its higher bottling strength delivers a wonderful concentration of flavour
This latest special Limited Edition is intended to convey the good fortune and happiness Compass Box feel, having met and worked with so many remarkable people during their first two decades. As a celebration of this important anniversary, this whisky is for them.
The largest single component was distilled in 2001 at the Port Dundas Distillery and is full of wood spice, toffee and honey. A third of the recipe was made in the 1980s at the Strathclyde Distillery, providing vanilla cream and orchard fruit notes. Barrels filled with spirit from the North British Distillery in the 1990s complete the recipe and lend passion fruit and cardamom notes.
Hedonism Felicitas is at once vibrant and stately: the higher bottling strength concentrates its luscious depths without any loss of the disarming gentleness for which aged grain whisky is rightly praised.
Creamy coconut intertwines with notes of caramel, vanilla and almond. Apple and greengage add a delicious weight with a soft finish packed with creamy toffee.

Vibrant and stately, the aroma fuses wood spice, toffee and honey with vanilla cream and orchard fruit. A lift of passion fruit and cardamom from the trio mingles with creamy coconut, caramel, vanilla and almond, while apple and greengage add a glossy fruit weight, finishing in a velvety, creamy toffee.
