Araid was named in honour of being the first William Grant whisky blend specially selected by DFS Group. The word ‘Ariad’ is Scots Gaelic for ‘unique’ – an idea which summons the spirits of the selection process to arrive at these magnificent whiskies.
Our Master Blender, Brian Kinsman, has created an exceptional range of one-off expressions with a collection of rare casks from the most revered distilleries in Scotland; among them irreplaceable casks from ghosted distilleries already part of whisky’s gloried past.
