1/This is a price guide. We set down what Aultmore 12 usually sells for, alongside its three nearest single malts, with the range we've seen and what a standard drink costs this week. Aultmore 12 is the bottle we read from: it usually sells around $116. The other three sit close to it on price, so the table shows at a glance where this week lands against each one's everyday figure.
2/| Bottle | Usually around | Range we've seen | This week | Per standard drink, this week | |---|---:|---|---:|---:| | Aultmore 12 | $116 | $116 | $116 | $4.57 | | Glencadam 10 | $100 | $95–$107 | $95 for members | $3.74 | | Glencadam 15 | $140 | $140–$160 | $140 for members | $5.51 | | Deanston 12 | $104 | $97–$112 | $97 for members | $3.79 |
3/Reading this week against the guide: Aultmore 12 sits at its everyday price, and so does Glencadam 15, which usually sells around $140. Glencadam 10 comes in at $95, the low end of its range; it usually sells around $100. Deanston 12 is at $97, the lowest we've seen it, against a usual of around $104. Glencadam 15 carries floral and honeyed notes with cereal and a little white pepper; Deanston 12 runs to marmalade, shortbread and salted caramel. A standard drink stays under the $6.28 of a pour at the pub across all four. Want the everyday mark held? Aultmore 12 and Glencadam 15. Want this week's lows? Glencadam 10 and Deanston 12. A yes either way.
