This week Glen Moray 12 is $71 for members at Dan Murphy's. It usually sells around $79, and we've not seen it stray far: $71 at the low end, $79 at the top. So $71 is the friendly end of its own range.
Here's the thing worth knowing. Glen Moray 12 fits nearly every foot near it. Of the bottles sitting close to it, it lands in the top 16% for how broadly it's liked. Few people bounce off it.
That shows up when you ask around. Take the drinkers of the bottles nearest Glen Moray 12 and ask what this one is worth to them, each starting from what they pay for their own. The answers run from $75 to $103. At $71 for members, this week's price sits under all of them. An easy yes, then, even for someone who usually reaches for something else. And every near drinker who shares its flavours rates it at nine-tenths or more of their own bottle.
So what's in the glass? Bourbon casks, and a nose that leads with honey: icing sugar, toffee bonbons, a twist of orange peel. Medium-bodied, with barley sugar and soft oak, then nectarine and lychee. The finish is vanilla and more honey, medium length. Honeyed and soft is the short version.
If you want a change, three bottles stand in.
Aberfeldy 12, usually $104. Tropical fruit, honey, vanilla, an orange marmalade finish. To a Glen Moray 12 drinker it gives about 99% of what the Glen Moray does, for 146% of its price.
The Glenlivet 12, usually $79. Flower and orchid, pineapple, a little mandarin. To a Glen Moray 12 drinker it gives about 99% of what the Glen Moray does, for 111% of its price.
The Glen Grant 10, $70 for members, usually $81. Honeyed vanilla with a touch of marshmallow. To a Glen Moray 12 drinker it gives about 99% of what the Glen Moray does, for 99% of its price.
One more way to weigh it. Glen Moray 12 holds about 22 standard drinks, which puts a pour at home at $3.21 a standard drink. A pint at the pub is about $13, or $6.28 a standard drink. The pour at home comes in under the pint.
Who's it for? If Glen Moray 12 is already your bottle, $71 this week is simply the friendly end of its range, so stock up if you like. If you drink Aberfeldy, you'll find most of what you love here for a fair bit less. If The Glenlivet is your usual, this is near enough the same pour for a touch less. And if you're on The Glen Grant, the two land almost level on price, so swap for the change of scene. For everyone else, this is the soft, honeyed Speyside that almost nobody turns down.
Honey, soft oak, a wide welcome. Start here.
