Compass Box Limited Release Hedonism Grain Scotch Whisky H29MMIX (700ml)

Edinburgh, SCOTLAND
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen
ABV: 43%

A most unusual offering from Compass Box, Hedonism is produced sporadically, only as enough top quality casks of Grain whisky become available and are deemed suitable for vatting.

Grain whisky is justifiably perceived as being an inferior counterpart to malt whisky, given it's primary purpose is for the dilution of malt whiskies to create mass marketed blends. However, preconceptions at the tasting bench are not welcome, a rule enforced by the memory of Cadenhead's 21 year old North British grain whisky. Whilst the Cadenheads was a single cask of 21 years, Hedonism's components are 15-20 casks of 14-29 years of age from Cameron Bridge, Carsebridge and Cambus distilleries. Once the perfect blend was achieved it was 'married' in American oak casks before being bottled at 43% Alc/Vol without the use of colouring or chill filtration.

The Whisky world's group hug!

Tasting Notes: Very pale straw colour with water like hue. Vanilla wafer biscuit, toasted coconut and spice on the nose, which is delivered affably. The palate is generously textured and very well balanced, offering intense vanilla cream, spice, marshmallow and toasted coconut flavours counterbalanced by persistent savoury spice. Long aftertaste of vanilla biscuit and spice. Ample texture and spice to keep the Scotch devotees happy, vanilla and coconut for lovers of Bourbon, mild mannered generosity for Irish whiskey drinkers. 43.0% Alc./Vol. Bottling H29MMIX Tasted.
