Hedonism 2026 sees Compass Box dig deep into its grain whisky reserves and, for the first time, introduce an antique sherry butt into the mix. The backbone is Port Dundas single grain, with 31% aged for 24 years in a refill sherry butt and 28% matured for 20 years in recharred American oak hogshead. Add parcels from the 2025 and 2024 Hedonism releases, plus 21-year-old blended grain, 20-year-old Cameronbridge, and a 30-year-old Strathclyde, and you’ve got a properly layered composition. It was filled at 46% ABV, natural colour, lightly chill-filtered at 5 microns, with 13,218 bottles drawn in November 2025. |
