A delightful blended grain whisky, Hedonism really is as enjoyable as the name suggests. Exclusively matured in American oak barrels, the result is a smooth and creamy offering from Compass Box.
From the first delectable introduction, Hedonism is all ripe fruit, fraises des bois and sponge cake. Some red pepper provides an interesting point to mull.
Very sensual, disarmingly sleek and creamy. Black cherry and sweet spices, some cereal notes.
Very warm and spiced, toasty, some oak and milk chocolate.

Absolute Stunner, creamy vanilla goodness in a bottle
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet. Not metaphorically sweet, but literally sweet - and yet it is a lip smacking whiskey. This is a wonderful nightcap if you enjoy dessert. That said, this is a humbling whiskey for malt aficionados. John Glaser (Compass Box's master blender) has created a masterpiece from underrated grain whiskies. If, as a child, you preferred a vanilla to a chocolate milkshake - you MUST try this delightful blend of grain whiskies. Superb.
I'm usually not convinced by blends, but went to a Compass Box taster and tasted 6 of their whiskies. Four of those were exceptional, but this was probably my favourite. Never had a grain whisky before. I usually drink Lagavulin, Dalwhinnie, Laphroaig and Hakushu. Hedonism tasted nothing like any of those, but it's now one of my favourites. It's hard to put my finger on what it tasted like, but I was getting hints of red wine, black cherry and port among other things. Highly recommended if you fancy something unusual.
No ice required, just place in your wine cooler at 50F/16C and drink this Scottish Nectar !
Have never tried it; a friend recommended it.
