Signed with love from Ardray
Loyal readers of The Whisky Shop Journal may remember that in July last year, we released our very first W Club Decanted podcast, in collaboration with Ardray. For those just joining the Journal's list of devotees, it was a gorgeous June day in Edinburgh when W Club Manager Luke Crowley Holland, Whisky Shop writer Charlotte Whitenstall and photographer Declan Corcoran met up with Ardray brand ambassador Stephanie Peck and Chief Blender Calum Fraser to ask them some questions about their new creation. You can watch our full interview here.
But there's a little secret we didn't tell you during this podcast: we got Calum Fraser, Chief Blender, to exclusively sign a small number of Ardray bottlings, which we then squirreled away for a rainy day - which is today! Just in time for Christmas, you could give your whisky-loving friend or family member a unique, hand-signed piece of Ardray and The Whisky Shop history! So how do you get your hands on one of these exclusive masterpieces? All you need to do is purchase a qualifying bottle of Ardray and you'll automatically be entered into a prize draw! It couldn't be easier.
The Whisky Itself
If you haven't heard, Ardray is an elegant reimagining of blended whisky made with the finest Scotch from every corner of Scotland.
A gorgeously smooth blended whisky crafted to perfection with Japanese expertise, this expression has been made with a handful of fine older single malts representing every terroir of Scotland. The first partnership between the renowned Suntory blending team and Scottish whisky makers, the notably elegant expression has been made with adventurous whisky drinkers in mind - to share their love of the water of life with friends. Free from chill filtration and at natural colour, the liquid is an exquisite balance from beginning to end.
Expect notes of apple, plum and clementine on the nose, with soft smoke emerging on the palate alongside creamy vanilla and orange blossom. A long-lasting finish lingers in the mouth for long after the last sip.
