Ardray Description
Ardray Blended Scotch Whisky is a unique fusion of Scotland's wild heritage and the delicate artistry of Suntory’s blenders from Japan. This innovative blend challenges the status quo, offering a fresh perspective on what blended Scotch whisky can be. Each bottle encapsulates a harmonious balance of rich floral and complex herbaceous notes, culminating in a honey-smooth mouthfeel and a long-lasting finish. Ardray is more than just a whisky; it's a testament to the art of blending, a journey of flavors waiting to be discovered.
The vision that shaped Ardray was clear and focused: to create a new, elegant interpretation of blended Scotch that sets a new benchmark for excellence. This vision was brought to life by striking a meticulous balance between the wildness of Scotland's expansive, rugged beauty and the precision of Suntory’s Japanese whisky blenders. The result is a crafted combination of thoughtful elements, a perfect balance that pays homage to the tradition of Scotch whiskies while introducing a fresh perspective.
The crafting of Ardray involved bringing together the Beam Suntory family of distilleries, including Laphroaig, Bowmore, and Glen Garioch, along with those of our partners at the Edrington Group, owners of The Macallan, Glenrothes, and Highland Park distilleries. By tapping into Scotland’s diverse terroir and distilling traditions, and experimenting with tiny increments of each style of whisky in the blend, our blenders found the point of perfect harmony. The result is Ardray, a malt-rich Scotch blend where the whiskies complement and elevate each other, creating an expressive and elegant blend. With each sip of Ardray, you embark on a deeper discovery of rich, bold flavors that form an unforgettable tasting experience.
