Glenmorangie 12 jumps to $85, above its $71 ruler

1/A heads-up on Glenmorangie Original 12. It's $85 at Dan Murphy's today. Last Thursday the same bottle sat at $73.95, no offer attached then or now.

2/At $85 it's above its own peer-value read. The engine's CE 360° jury of ten like-for-like malts, judged on character rather than the price tag, puts fair value around $71, with a ceiling near $73. Eighty-five clears both.

3/It's the gentle Highland introduction it's always been. Light, floral, orchard-fruit, no smoke. Lovely stuff, unchanged. The ask is the thing that's shifted.

4/Not a raid to chase, then — more a note that the ruler says $71 and the shelf says $85. Still finding it in the low seventies where you shop? Drop the price below.

Omissions

No peer prices are quoted; the standing rests on the bottle's own CE 360° jury, not a live cross-read of the cohort.
No percentage move and no trend language: the post states this week's ticket against last week's and lets the jury figure carry the standing.

Notes for reviewer

Clears the bar as a rise with standing: $85 is over the CE 360° mean ($71.20) and its ceiling ($73.04).
Replay draft on rehearsal vintage 2026-09-17.r; may_publish: false and never flips in replay.
