Fresh aromas suggest red apple slices and hint of vanilla. The supersoft palate rings out with vanilla cookie and custard, finishing long and mouthwatering on sweet spices, piquant cayenne and drying hints of cigar wrapper and campfire smoke. Consider this as a dessert pairing. (KN)

Gold color. Delicate aromas of tropical fruits (coconut, pineapple, mango), marshmallow and vanilla. Light in body, with delicate exotic flavors that deliver what the aroma promises. Soft, gentle, delicately creamy finish. (JH, Fall-2001)
K&L Notes
Compass Box's "Hedonism" is an unusual style of 100% blended-grain Scotch whisky. They only produce it once a year. This year's batch (code H29MMIX) comprises just 14 carefully selected, first-fill American oak casks. The whisky derives depth and complexity from 29 Year Old Carsebridge, while 18 Year Old Cambus and 14 Year Old Cameronbridge provide a sweet fruit structure. Hedonism's signature finish is long and full of vanilla cream, toffee, and a touch of coconut. As an aperitif, serve with a small amount of chilled water. Late in the evening, serve neat. Makes a great whisky sour. Distillery sourcing: Cameron Bridge, Carsebridge, and Cambus, between the ages of 14 and 29 years old. Wood: 100% first-fill American oak barrels or rejuvenated American oak hogsheads. Natural color. Not chill filtered.
