But, fortunately, we know what makes up this unique blend: The Compass Box website can no longer legally disclose the components of this blend due to some ridiculous rules. To celebrate the company’s 15th anniverary, they created a blend of grain whiskies, all of which are at least 20 years old. The answer is found in Compass Box’s Hedonism Quindecimus, which is certainly one of the most unique whiskeys I’ve ever tasted. And yet, what if instead grain whiskey was left to age properly, perhaps even for decades? How would it taste? Put another way: Grain whiskey is the less flavorful filler that is blended with single malt to make blended whiskies like Dewar’s, Bells, Johnnie Walker, Cutty Sark, and Chivas Regal, which make up 90 percent of all scotch whiskey sold.įor the most part, that characterization is correct, as most grain whiskey is aged only a few years and then blended with single malt to make blended whiskey. If you know anything about scotch grain whiskey, you probably know the lack of grain whiskey is what makes single malts so sought-after.
