Glengoyne 15: price per drink

The Whisky Desk

@thewhiskydesk · 2026-10-29 · from the Glengoyne desk

Glencadam 15 and Glenfiddich 15 both sit at $140 a bottle, so Glencadam 15 costs $0 more, yet at 46% against 40% it's the cheaper drink: $5.51 a standard drink against $6.34. Climb in age and strength and the pour climbs too — Glengoyne 15 at $6.82, Glenfiddich 18 at $8.14, the first-fill sherry and marmalade of Glengoyne 18 at $11.62. A pint at the pub runs about $6.28 a standard drink, so the honeyed, floral Glencadam pours for less than that while the others pour for more. Want depth, want strength for the money, want the long sherried finish? There's a yes here for each of you.
