Process & Profile

Compass Box Hedonism 2026 is the third edition in Compass Box’s Limited Annual Release series for Hedonism—the original blended grain Scotch whisky that helped define the category. The 2026 release turns the dial up with a richer, more powerful profile at 46% ABV while staying true to Hedonism’s signature “dessert-luxury” style: silky texture, creamy sweetness, and layered oak.

This edition is also notably mature, incorporating some of the oldest whiskies ever used in a Hedonism release, including antique grain parcels reported up to 31 years old. It’s presented in a collectible 700 mL format and released in a limited global outturn.

Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
