Compass Box Hedonism Blended, 46%

Price: 165 Issue: Summer 2026 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Red apple peels, white pepper, cherry candy, clove, perfumed florals, nougat, clotted cream, and cream puffs rise from the glass, threaded with a firm line of spice. The palate opens rich and creamy, with butterscotch and fruit candies unfolding into lush orchard fruits, caramel, hazelnut meringue, and gentle peppery warmth. Marmalade and apple build depth through the mid-palate before a spritz of orange peel delivers a full, satisfying finish.
