Created to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Compass Box in 2015, Hedonism Quindecimus is a limited-edition blended grain Scotch whisky that showcases the heights grain whisky can achieve. Historically relegated to the background of blended Scotch, grain whisky is elevated to an art form here by founder John Glaser. This expression is a masterfully curated marriage of grain whiskies from various distilleries, including Port Dundas, Dumbarton, North British, and Loch Lomond, aged in first-fill American oak barrels and rejuvenated hogsheads. The name 'Quindecimus' represents the fifteen years of creative blending that redefined the whisky landscape, offering a remarkably deep, decadent profile of rich vanilla, coconut, and tropical fruit notes.
