Just in time for Father’s Day, artisanal British spirits company Compass Box has released a new limited edition bottling of its rare old “Hedonism” Scotch grain whisky. Compass Box calls Scotch grain whisky the “forgotten” spirit. Its origins go back to the early 1800s, but these days it’s not made to be drunk on its own. Made from wheat or corn and distilled in a continuous still, it’s not aged like malt, but rather used to as a base for the marquee brands of blended Scotch - filler, in other words.

The Scotch grain whisky that goes into Hedonism is on average 20 years old, and a bottle costs about $100.

Decadence to the extreme.  The chief mixologist at Skyview Bar in the Burj Al Arab in Dubai has created the “27.321″ named for the cost in UAE dirham, the floor where the Skyview Bar is located (27th) and the height of the Burj Al Arab (321 meters). The cocktail is made from Macallan 55 year old single malt natural color whisky, exclusively produced ‘dried fruit bitters’ that carry and support the whisky’s flavor, and homemade passion fruit sugar. The resulting cocktail is then served over ice cubes made of water from the Macallan distillery in Scotland, along with an oak stirrer made from a Macallan Cask. The cocktail is presented in a Baccarat 18-karat gold glass, which the buyer gets to take home.  If you’re fortunate enough to be in the area, this concocsion will set you back around $7,450.  Cheers!
