Compass Box Hedonism 2026 (70cl, 46%)

The 2026 annual release of Compass Box Hedonism, a blended grain Scotch whisky bottled at 46% in a 70cl bottle, non-chill-filtered and without added colour. This year's label was reimagined by the Australian artist Emma Hack, with the Hedonism figure played by the Scottish actor Karen Gillan. Blender Angela D'Orazio drew on some of the oldest components ever used in Hedonism. At its centre is a 30-year-old single grain whisky from Strathclyde, joined by grain whisky from Cameronbridge and the closed Port Dundas distillery, historic blended grain parcels and a new sherry component. The nose brings fruitcake, cloves, dates and toffee. The palate is soft and creamy, with coffee, toffee, sherry notes, roasted almonds and slightly tart raisins. The finish is long, creamy and sweet, with cocoa and cream.
