1/What should we expect to pay for a Tomintoul 25, and how do its nearest bottles sit beside it? That's what this guide is for. We've put Tomintoul's oldest Gentle Dram alongside the three single malts closest to it, and set out what each usually sells around, the range we've seen, and what a standard drink costs this week.
2/Here's the guide. Tomintoul 25 at the top, then the three nearest, with the usual price, the range, this week's price and the cost of a standard drink this week.
3/So how does this week read against the guide? Quietly. All four sit at their everyday price — Tomintoul 25 at $733, Tomintoul 21 at $369, Glenfiddich Grand Cru 23 at $559, Tomintoul 16 at $181 — so there's no special on and nothing out of character. The low ends of a few ranges were Father's Day prices: Tomintoul 21 at $340, Glenfiddich Grand Cru 23 at $478, Tomintoul 16 at $132.
