Beam Suntory Combines Whisky From Three Regions To Produce Ardray

Beam Suntory has created a new three-region blended Scotch called Ardray that combines malt and grain whiskies from the Highlands, Lowlands and Islay Scotch whisky-producing regions of Scotland.

Beam Suntory owns the Ardmore, Auchentoshan, Bowmore and Laphroaig Scotch distilleries and, in a collaboration with Scottish spirits company Edrington [owner of Glenrothes, Highland Park and The Macallan], produced Ardray.

Beam Suntory Ardray was bottled at 48% alcohol by volume [96 proof] and is said to offer notes of citrus, floral and vanilla custard.

Beam Suntory Ardray was initially only available in four cities – London, Los Angeles, New York and Shanghai – but will be made available worldwide for $80 per bottle.
