Who knows what it would have been called if it ever made production, probably 'Boss' or 'Badass'. We know it as the 1966 Ford Mach 1 Mustang concept.

Every automotive nut is familiar with the Nürburgring race circuit in Nürburg, Germany: 13 miles, more than 100 turns, and a 1,000 foot elevation change from its highest point to its lowest make the “Green Hell” the test track du jour for automakers looking to boost their sporting credibility. When manufacturers aren’t renting out the daunting road course, civilians can show up in whatever car they please, and for the reasonable sum of $33.50, race on what is arguably the most famous track in the world. Although the Nürburgring rakes in roughly $80 million per year, the track had racked up $500 million in debt and underwent a government-structured bankruptcy beginning last year. The upside to all of this is that the Nürburgring is now on the market, and the new owners don’t have to worry about all the old debt. Bidding opens this week, and the ‘Ring is expected to sell for about $170 million. The downside? Those public access days may disappear.

“You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.” ― Woody Allen

Hedonism is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as:

noun

[mass noun]

·   The pursuit of pleasure; sensual self-indulgence.

·   Philosophy the ethical theory that pleasure (in the sense of the satisfaction of desires) is the highest good and proper aim of human life.

And this offering from Scotch boutique whisky maker “Compass Box” offers just that.

Hedonism is a blended grain whisky, a variety of whisky that is not often found in Scotland anymore. But this variation, produced only once a year when “Compass” can find the the perfect American-Oak casks for ageing, is not what you would expect a blended grain to be. In fact it was awarded World’s Best Grain Whisky at the World Whisky Awards in 2008 and 2009.

This Hedonism is incredibly smooth and sweet and should appeal to both the non whisky drinker as well as the experienced. Compass describe the flavours as being of sweet vanilla, coconut and toffee, and we pick up a bit of honey in there too.

The Hedonism is perfect for enjoying as an aperitif, where adding a drop of water opens up some of the fruitier flavours. Or alternatively we enjoy having it neat as a night cap, to let the warming toffee flavours carry us off into our beds.

Enjoy.

This car was cool when it was built. It had sex appeal, good looks and good taste in American size portions. However, unlike most American cars of the time this car wasn’t so big that you’d ever compare it to a water craft. It has only gotten better with age ( insert metaphor here) and If Steve McQueen were driving it today he might find his car getting as much attention as himself.
