# Three New Whisky Highlights: Edradour SCAA, Compass Box Hedonism 2026 & Teerenpeli Best Dram

From Highland Charity to Hollywood Glamour and Finnish Sherry Power

Kirsch Import unveils three remarkable whisky releases that showcase the full breadth of the spirit: a charitable Highland single malt, a star-driven blended grain annual release, and a powerful Finnish sherry cask limited edition. From Scotland’s Highlands to innovative grain whisky craftsmanship and Nordic maturation, these bottlings underline how diverse and dynamic today’s whisky landscape truly is.

Edradour 12 yo SCAA – A Highland Single Malt with a Mission

The Edradour 12 yo SCAA is a 12-year-old Highland single malt Scotch whisky distilled in 2013 and bottled in December 2025. Matured in sherry casks, this limited edition is presented at 46% ABV, uncolored and non-chill filtered, with a total outturn of 3,216 bottles.

What makes this single malt whisky truly exceptional is its purpose: all proceeds support Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). The donation-funded organization delivers rapid emergency assistance to rural communities across Scotland. This special bottling will contribute at least £70,000 to support their life-saving missions.

Compass Box Hedonism – Limited Annual Release 2026

The Hedonism 2026 Limited Annual Release marks another milestone for Compass Box’s iconic blended grain Scotch whisky — the first of its kind when originally launched. This collector-focused limited edition features artwork by Australian artist Emma Hack, portraying the Hedonism character embodied by Scottish actress Karen Gillan.

Master Blender Angela D’Orazio crafted the 2026 edition using some of the oldest components ever included in Hedonism, notably a 30-year-old single grain from Strathclyde. The composition includes Port Dundas Single Grain (61.2%), Hedonism 2025 Vatting (14.1%), Blended Grain Parcel (13.1%), Cameronbridge Single Grain (5.4%), Hedonism 2024 Vatting (3.1%), and Strathclyde Single Grain (3.1%).

Matured in first-fill and refill bourbon barrels, recharred American oak hogsheads, and refill sherry butts, this 46% ABV release (13,218 bottles) remains non-chill filtered and uncolored. A new sherry component introduces notes of dates, sweet spices, coffee, and raisins.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm and rich with fruitcake, cloves, dates, and toffee, balancing sweetness and fragrant dryness.
• Palate: Soft, melting texture with darker tones than previous editions — coffee, toffee, roasted almonds, and tart raisins.
• Finish: Long and creamy with cocoa-infused depth.

Teerenpeli 2013/2026 – Best Dram Oloroso Sherry Hogshead

The Teerenpeli 2013/2026 – Oloroso Sherry Hogshead represents the latest Best Dram selection by Michel Reick. Distilled on 02/08/2013 and bottled on 21/01/2026, this Finnish single malt whisky matured for 12 years in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (cask no. 02082013I).

Released at cask strength 57.6% ABV, uncolored and non-chill filtered, only 206 bottles are available. Shaped by one of the purest water sources in the world and Finland’s extreme climate, this limited edition delivers a bold, dark “chocolate sherry board” profile with hazelnut-nougat cream, dark berries, dried plum, and a hint of thyme.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Milk chocolate, preserved plum, ripe blackberry, thyme, evolving into hazelnut-nougat cream.
• Palate: Pronounced dark berries and dried plum, followed by nutty tones, cocoa powder, and delicate herbs.
• Finish: Medium-long, dark, fruity, and nutty.

These three new whisky releases demonstrate remarkable diversity: a Highland single malt supporting a vital cause, a refined blended grain annual collector’s edition, and a powerful cask strength Finnish sherry expression. For enthusiasts and collectors alike, each bottle stands as a distinctive chapter in today’s evolving world of whisky.
