Conclusion: this is good stuff, I even think I fell in love with her. Knowing this particular release might be hard to find, I will keep a look out for more recent versions.
More info: From the label we can read: Vatted Grain Scotch Whisky, where we know that the term "Vatted" is no longer allowed to be used by whisky making Scotland. Therefore we know this is one of the earlier batches of the Hedonism, and if I read the faded print on the miniature correctly (L270306??22BB), it is most likely the 2007 release. There is no clue as to which grains are in this vatted grain, at least, not that I can find them. I will take pointers from anyone willing to give them.
