Scotch Whisky Blended Grain
46% ABV, Not Chill-Filtered, Natural Colour
Details
Process
Hedonism has always defied convention, paying homage to tradition of grain whisky distillation in Scotland. Over the years, demand for high-quality grain whisky has increased throughout Scotland, making the calibre of whisky we require for Hedonism ever harder to find. So, in 2024, Hedonism became a limited annual release, appearing once a year in limited quantities, each a different interpetation of that classic Hedonism style.
For 2025, we have imbued Hedonism with greater power at 46%, featuring single grain from Cameronbridge Distillery, further matured for two years in a first-fill Marsala barrique.
Flavour profile
Initial waves of caramel and powdered sugar, leading into a heart of pure peach puree, cocoa and pear. Chocolate mousse arrives on the palate, joined by nutmeg-inflected custard and cinnamon. The finish freshens to white grape, Fuji apple and vanilla.
Recommendations
Indulge hedonistically with parmesan as always or indulge with some Pastel de Nata to play with the texture of the whisky. Dried fruit such as apricots help to draw out the fruit notes or dive straight in with some salted caramel pots de crème.
