A new blended Scotch whisky from Bowmore, Laphroaig, Auchentoshan, and Ardmore owner Beam Suntory, created from malt and grain whiskies from the Highlands, Lowlands, and Islands. Almost 200 different whiskies were tested by Suntory’s chief blender for Scotch, Calum Fraser, and Suntory’s blending team, to create Ardray. The brand not only utilised stocks from its own distilleries, but also some from its partner Edrington, owner of The Macallan, Glenrothes, and Highland Park.
