HEDONISM Release 2026 Compass Box

In 2000, Compass Box created the very first blended grain whisky ever brought to market, forever transforming the landscape of Scotch whisky. It was already called Hedonism. Over the past 25 years, Hedonism has become a cornerstone of the Compass Box brand, winning numerous awards and establishing itself as a must-have in the collections of many whisky lovers. Since February 2024, Hedonism has become a limited annual edition. And because Hedonism was the first whisky ever to feature a female figure, each annual release now shines a spotlight on a new talented female artist who reinterprets the bottle’s design. The 2026 edition marks a major evolution of Hedonism, bringing together mature sherry and bourbon casks to enhance the whisky’s generous, signature profile—with particular emphasis on old Port Dundas casks. This is the oldest expression of Hedonism ever crafted by Compass Box, offering a deep and complex aromatic palette. The presentation case design, featuring Karen Gillan as a muse alongside an artwork by artist Emma Hack, makes this bottle both a true collector’s piece and an exceptional whisky.
