Description

Ardray Blended Scotch Whisky is a creation by Beam Suntory, uniting Scottish heritage with Japanese blending artistry. It is a malt-rich blend of carefully selected malt and grain Scotch whiskies from various regions of Scotland, including those from Beam Suntory-owned distilleries (like Bowmore, Laphroaig, Auchentoshan, Ardmore) and partner distilleries (like The Macallan, Glenrothes, Highland Park). Launched in 2023, this non-chill filtered whisky is bottled at 48% ABV and is known for its exquisite balance and complex, multi-layered taste. It has received gold medals at the World Whiskies Awards for taste and bottle design.
