In Compass Box’s Words: Compass Box Hedonism And while it’s not one of my favorite categories, it’s definitely a category that’s worth exploring.
With the two different styles of Port Dundas grain (ex-Bourbon and Rejuvenated Hogshead) playing the part of the traditional single malts the Compass Box Hedonism brings something interesting and alluring to the grain whisky category. Not a single grain, but a blended grain, Hedonism contains grain from two different distilleries with the ex-Bourbon Cameron Bridge taking more of a traditional grain role and making up 66% of the blend. It’s the one area in whisky where you’re able to get Scotch at 30, 40 or 50+ years of age for relatively small sums of money and Compass Box Hedonism has been there, quietly making subtle waves for years. Over the last 5ish years the grain whisky category has been heating up.
