This is what happens when you blend Bowmore, Macallan, Glenrothes, Laphroaig, Ardmore and more - then let Suntory craft something truly balanced. Ardray is bold, refined, and unlike anything else.

"I love how whisky bars have a 'Malt of the Month', and I revisited this at The Pot Still in Glasgow recently. It's easy to forget the great 'core standards' with all of the new releases these days. It's Glencadam's 200th anniversary this year.".

Which Indian whisky do you prefer?. Amrut and Paul John have plenty in common. They both work with Indian barley. They both have used peat. They both explore tropical ageing. But each has its own style. Do you have a preference?
