Compass Box – Hedonism 2024

Limited Annual Release 2024
Our Celebration of the
Deliciousness of Grain Whisky
The calibre of whiskies we need for Hedonism have grown
ever harder to find, which is why our first ever expression
will become a Limited Annual Release going forward.
For the first batch we have turned to more mature whiskies
aged almost entirely in first-fill Bourbon barrels.
Also, nearly a quarter of the recipe features the last of our
stocks of grain whiskies distilled in the 1990s, a period
when the use of maize was more widespread.This brings
an enhanced buttery weight to the overall composition.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
A complex array of patisserie aromas,
with exotic vanilla and clove-infused caramel.
Layers of creamy custard arrive on the palate,
with accents of honey and mascarpone.
A delicate citrus accent appears on the finish.
SERVING
RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideal enjoyed neat and slightly chilled.
Alternatively, add an ice cube or splash
of water and serve in a large wine glass.
