Rare, Old Scotch Grain Whisky
Hedonism is unusual in the Scotch whisky world: a blended grain Scotch whisky.
It is very rare to see 100% grain whisky bottlings, in Scotland. Going back
100 years, grain whisky brands were more common, but they were overtaken
in popularity by the big brands of blended Scotch, which comprised both
grain whisky and malt whisky. Today, most Scotch grain whisky gets blended
into the big brand names, typically at young ages. For Hedonism, we search for
old casks of Scotch grain whisky. And we only produce Hedonism once a year,
when we find casks with the right flavour profile.
Rich, Sweet, Alluring
When good Scotch grain whisky is aged in good quality American oak casks,
the results can be stunning: a rich, sweet, alluring whisky, redolent of
vanilla, pastry cream and coconut. You’ll find all these things in our Hedonism
bottlings. We believe that great Scotch grain whisky is the little-known
treasure of the Scotch whisky industry.
Flavour Descriptors
Elegant flavours of vanilla cream, toffee, coconut.
