Final edition limited to 13,218 bottles at 46% ABV
Compass Box, the London-based Scotch whisky maker, has announced that Hedonism 2026 is the final release in its annual Hedonism series. The 2026 edition was released in February. The company said Hedonism was created to show what grain whisky can achieve.
Nishat Gupte, Compass Box CEO, said: “Hedonism made a simple point beautifully: grain whisky deserves a place at the top table. It has done that job, and we are proud of everything it means to the people who love it. Hedonism 2026 is a fitting last chapter, and we want to thank every bartender, retailer, artist and whisky fan who helped make the series iconic. Flavour has always been our north star, and it will guide everything we make from here. We are excited about the road ahead.”
Compass Box said Hedonism was its first release and put grain whisky in the spotlight, celebrating its sweetness, texture and depth. According to the company, each edition was a chance to show that grain deserves the same care and curiosity as any malt.
