Compass Box

A special release bottle from Compass Box containing fabulous grain whisky from Invergordon (a 42-year-old) and Carsebridge (29-year-old). Matured in first fill ex-bourbon American Oak and limited to just 1,500 bottles. Here's a description from Compass Box themselves: "A reserve version of our classic grain whisky Hedonism, you will find that Hedonism Maximus has similar character, but the flavours are much deeper, even sweeter and much more intense given the very old age of the whiskies chosen. For Hedonism Maximus we have used 42 year-old whisky from the Invergordon distillery in the northern Highlands, and complemented it with 29 year-old whisky distilled at Cameron Bridge in Fife, Scotland’s oldest continuously operating distillery.

The result is a truly rare and truly remarkable whisky for the serious Scotch whisky hedonist. The label and packaging pay homage to one of Scotland’s seminal whisky brands, Andrew Usher & Co.’s “Old Vatted Glenlivet Whisky.” In the UK’s National Archives we located an advertising poster for this whisky from 1905 and asked our designer, Chris Edmunds, to create a label based on this."
