ARDRAY, meaning "towards the light," was crafted by Beam Suntory's Chief Blender for Scotch Whisky Calum Fraser along with Suntory's blending team in Japan. Harkening back to a time when blends were made with fewer, more distinct malts, ARDRAY was made using malt whiskies from no more than 10 distilleries including single malts from their brands (Laphroaig, Bowmore, Ardmore, and Glen Garioch) as well as from their partners at Edrington (The Macallan, The Glenrothes, and Highland Park). This malt-rich blend of malt and grain whiskies will be blended in annual batches with recipes adjusted each year. Bottled at 48% without chill-filtration, ARDRAY launches in late summer 2023 in the US. (SRP $85)

It is ok, nothing special. For the price I would rather pick compass box king’s street, or Johnnie Walker green. Interesting to try, but don’t need to own a bottle! Also i am not a fan of the gig and dance of the marketing, either say nothing or be completely transparent like compass box! This is a hyped blend that should be under $35!
I liked it. Unique. I thought it had some Rye spiciness in contrast with the scotch peatiness.
