Compass Box Hedonism 2025 Release, 46%

Price: 160 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Grain Scotch Whisky

Now a limited annual release, this year’s expression has aromas of corncobs, vanilla sugar, pear, lemon meringue pie, nutmeg, and a grain whisky character reminiscent of face moisturizer. Deliciously sweet, it boasts lemon mousse, white peach, and sweet grains, evolving to show lemon zest, pear, white chocolate, creamed banana, and sliced almonds. It concludes with a finish of sweet vanilla and lemon curd. (Release date: 2/25).
