Compass Box Hedonism | 2024 Limited Edition Release | 700ML

Compass Box Hedonism, a limited annual bottling starting from February 2024, celebrates the art of blending grain Scotch whiskies. It was the first of its kind and featured the first whisky label with a woman. Due to increased demand, the annual release of about 8,000 bottles interprets the beloved Hedonism style, with whiskies aged around 18 to 20 years. Each year, a new artist reimagines the iconic Hedonism woman for the label; this year, it's Stephanie Rew. The 2024 release features mature whiskies from Cameronbridge, Girvan, and Port Dundas, predominantly aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, resulting in deep vanilla and toffee notes. It also includes Compass Box's last stocks of 1990s grain whiskies, which adds buttery richness. The whisky, filled in 7,746 collectible bottles, offers a complex taste of caramel, spicy honey, mascarpone, and lush vanilla, with a fine citrus finish.

Distillery Information

Compass Box was launched in 2000 by the American John Glaser, who was previously International Marketing Director at Johnnie Walker. To promote his whisky, John travelled through London visiting pubs and bars with samples and, in idiosyncratic style, handing out business cards billing himself as “John Glaser – Whisky Zealot”. Compass Box’s modus operandi and strong work ethic is what sets them apart as an independent bottler and blender like no other. Compass Box buy individual casks and focus on creating a craftsman-like boutique product. None of their bottlings are chill-filtered, nor is any colouring added and are all married exclusively in American oak. This brings the characteristic sweetness to the whisky. One of their unique expressions and a superb example of their methodology is Compass Box Hedonism. This is a marriage of between eight and fifteen different grain whiskies, most of which are over twenty years old and all are aged in first-fill American oak. Hedonism went on to be heralded as the World’s Best Grain Whisky at the 2008 World Whisky Awards. John Glaser was himself featured four times in Whisky Magazine as Innovator of the Year.
