Compass Box Hedonism Limited Release 2024 (70cl, 43%)

Compass Box Hedonism Limited Release 2024 is a blended grain Scotch whisky, bottled at 43% in a 70cl bottle and issued as a limited annual release. This edition is built mostly from older whiskies matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, which give it a rich, creamy structure. Nearly a quarter of the blend is grain whisky from the nineties, a time when maize played a larger part, and it adds a buttery depth. The nose brings patisserie, exotic vanilla and caramelised clove. The palate shows creamy custard with layers of honey and mascarpone, and the finish has delicate citrus notes.
