A whisky of firsts, Hedonism was the first-ever release from new-wave blenders Compass Box. It was also the first ‘blended grain’ whisky brought to market. It is also, most importantly, the first post on Indie Whisky 🥃🥃🥃
Hedonism is everything that is good about grain whisky. Buttery, creamy, sweet. It’s the perfect response to anyone who says that blends or grain whiskies are shite.
Since 2024, Compass Box have removed Hedonism as part of their core range and turned it into an annual release due to dwindling stocks of tasty old grains, which although means it’s not as accessible as it once was, does mean that we get to enjoy for at least a wee while longer.
Slainte!
