Ardray whisky is the result of an exciting and groundbreaking collaboration between Scottish and Japanese whisky makers that presents new perspectives on a long-lasting tradition
Premium spirits company Beam Suntory has unveiled Ardray whisky – a significant launch that heralds the dawn of a new era in blended Scotch
The Ardray story begins in the 1920s with Japanese whisky maker Shinjiro Torii – the father of Japanese whisky and founder of Japan’s first whisky distillery, Yamazaki Distillery, which led to the creation of Suntory, Japan’s first single malt whisky. In 2023, Torii’s journey comes full circle with the presentation of Ardray whisky. Translating from Gaelic as ‘towards the light’, Ardray honours Torii’s original vision and Beam Suntory’s aim to keep pushing whisky forward. Wonderfully complex, yet approachable, this malt-rich whisky invites us to look at blended Scotch with fresh eyes. Ardray is an ultra-premium spirit that reveals the skill and craftsmanship behind the art of blending.
Fraser comments: ‘In creating Ardray we have combined an exceptional selection of the very best Scotch whisky has to offer with the inspiring talent of Suntory’s blending team to create something new, refreshing and exciting. The time, care and attention to detail taken to source both malt and grain whiskies from some of Scotland’s most noted distilleries has allowed us to explore hundreds of blends of Scotch malt and grain whiskies to achieve Ardray’s optimum balance of multi-layered flavours.
