An article of faith for Compass Box’s founder John Glaser was that grain whisky—and, by extension, blended whisky—was a flagrantly underappreciated category in the world of Scottish spirits. He placed this belief center stage when he created Hedonism Blended Grain Whisky, the first whisky produced at Compass Box and one of the core brands in the company’s early years. The brand’s success has elevated it to an annual release, but the founding principles remain the same, as evidenced by this anniversary release of carefully sourced and finished single grain whiskies from legacy Scottish distilleries.
