Here's the short version, and then we'll walk the long way round it. Aberlour 12 Double Cask is $105 for members this week, and it usually sells around $109. That's about as low as we've seen it.
So if you've been circling this one, waiting for a week to pull the trigger, this is a fair week to do it. Nothing dramatic has happened to the price. It's just sitting a touch below where it normally lands. Worked out per standard drink, that's about $4.75 a pour at home, against roughly $6.28 for a standard drink in a $13 pint at the pub. A bottle holds about 22 of those pours.
None recorded.
