Hedonism 2026

In 2000, Compass Box Hedonism changed whisky history as the world’s first blended grain Scotch – and the first to place a female muse at the centre of its label.

For the last three years, every annual release has seen a different female artist reinterpret the muse in her own voice. 

For 2026, the muse is brought to life. Scottish actor and director Karen Gillan steps into the role, transformed by multidisciplinary artist Emma Hack into a layered portrait of colour, symbolism and strength.

A powerful icon, meeting the viewer with a defiant gaze.

Across more than 18 years partnering with Compass Box, every whisky has been a chance to build a world around it – uncompromising, surreal, and defiantly original.
