Ardray is a blended Scotch whisky crafted with the precision of Suntory's blenders and shaped by Scotland's rugged terroir, bottled at 48% ABV.
Literally meaning towards the light, Ardray reflects the guidance of Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii and the goal of continuing to push whisky forward. It balances respect for Scotch traditions with the desire to build upon them, offering not just another blended Scotch but a quest for a new view of Scotch whisky blending.
Exquisite balance is its signature: a harmonious meeting of boldness and smoothness, made with the care of Japanese blending.
Presented in its elegant box, it makes a refined gift.
Enjoy it neat, with a drop of water, or in a highball.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
A blended Scotch whisky combines single malt whiskies with grain whiskies from different distilleries, and the blender's art lies in balancing many components into one harmonious style.
Suntory, the Japanese whisky house behind Yamazaki and Hibiki, has a long tradition of meticulous blending, and Ardray brings that approach to Scotch.
Shinjiro Torii founded Japan's first malt whisky distillery, Yamazaki, in 1923, and his philosophy of continual innovation still guides Suntory.
Bottled at 48% ABV, Ardray is stronger than most blended Scotch, giving it more texture and flavour, and it stands up well in a highball.
It is a whisky made in Scotland with a Japanese sensibility.
