The Compass Box Whisky Company proudly presents a limited edition of their esteemed Hedonism blend, named "The Muse CB Limited Edition 53.3% 700ml." Released in 2018 and limited to just 3,060 bottles, this special bottling pays homage to the women in the whisky industry and the dedicated team at Compass Box. The core of this extraordinary blended grain whisky is the "muse cask," a butt containing pre-blended whiskies that perfectly embody the quality and flavor profile of a Hedonism whisky.
Hedonism, Compass Box's inaugural bottling in 2000, is historically significant as the first whisky featuring a woman on its label. This limited edition celebrates that legacy with Jill Boyd, Compass Box's first female whisky blender, leading the project. The whisky boasts a harmonious blend of honeyed, spicy, and fruity notes with a pronounced presence of vanilla, making it an exquisite pairing with salted caramel.
The Muse reimagines the inspiration behind the original Hedonism grain whisky, incorporating some of the aged grain whiskies from the initial pre-vatted cask. This release is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time Compass Box employs more women than men, symbolizing a pivotal moment for both the company and the wider whisky industry.
