Beam Suntory Introduces Ardray: A Three-Region Scotch Symphony
Beam Suntory has unveiled Ardray, a three-region blended Scotch crafted from malts and grains from the Highlands, Lowlands, and Islay.
This global beverage powerhouse, owner of renowned distilleries like Ardmore, Auchentoshan, Bowmore, and Laphroaig, has collaborated with the Scottish spirits titan, Edrington. Edrington boasts ownership of brands such as Glenrothes, Highland Park, and The Macallan, amplifying the pedigree behind Ardray.
With an alcohol content of 48%, Ardray entices the senses with hints of citrus, floral undertones, and a vanilla custard finish.
Initially, Ardray graced only four metropolises: London, Los Angeles, New York, and Shanghai. Yet, its soaring demand has expanded its availability worldwide, with a price tag of US$80 per bottle.
Recent financial data from Beam Suntory indicates a robust uptick in sales, attributed to their spirit excellence and expanding ready-to-drink (RTD) collection. The company’s net sales surged by 10.5% annually, marking a 24% increment since the pre-pandemic era of 2019.
