1/A price guide for Chivas Regal 25 and the three blended Scotch whiskies closest to it. What each usually sells around, the range we've seen, and what a pour costs this week. Chivas Regal 25 sits at the top at $646, with Royal Salute 21, Dewar's 18 and Johnnie Walker 18 alongside it. Read the week against the everyday price, not the other way around.

3/All four sit at their everyday price this week; nothing here is a special. Chivas Regal 25 usually sells around $646, and that is where it is. The bottom of two ranges came at Father's Day: Royal Salute 21 $210, Johnnie Walker 18 $133. This week both are back at the top, $260 and $179.
