Brought to you by Ardray Whisky
We're delighted to be partnering with Ardray whisky who are kindly providing our whiskies for the evening.
The heritage, tradition, and wild terroir of Scotland. The delicate artistry of Suntory’s blenders from Japan. Ardray is a blended Scotch whisky that challenges expectations.
Each bottle holds a fresh perspective on what blended Scotch whisky can be, with a unique balance of rich floral and complex herbaceous notes, and a honey-smooth mouthfeel with a long-lasting finish.
Gold Award-winning blended Scotch
