1/A price guide for Tomatin 12 and the three single malts closest to it. For each one: what it usually sells around, the range we've seen, and what a pour costs this week by the standard drink. Four bottles set side by side, so you can see where this week's price sits against the usual.
2/| Bottle | Usually around | Range we've seen | This week | Per standard drink, this week | |---|---:|---|---:|---:| | Tomatin 12 | $90 | $90–$98 | $90 for members | $3.79 | | The Deveron 12 | $91 | $90–$91 | $91 | $4.12 | | Aberfeldy 12 | $104 | $104 | $104 | $4.71 | | Dalwhinnie 15 | $95 | $95–$129 | $95 | $3.99 |
3/Start with Dalwhinnie 15: it usually sells around $95, the range we've seen reaches $129, and this week it is $95 — the low end of that range. Honeyed, caramelised fruit, thick and gentle in the middle: a yes for the drinker who wants soft and rich. Tomatin 12 is $90, right where it usually sells, bright with summer fruit and clean: a yes for an easy everyday pour, and at $3.79 a standard drink, a pour at home well under a $13 pint at the pub. The Deveron 12 at $91 and Aberfeldy 12 at $104 sit at their everyday price too — the Deveron soft and gently spiced, Aberfeldy fresh and floral with a touch of orange marmalade. A yes for the one who likes it mellow, and a yes for the one after something light and honeyed. Nothing this week is a special; all four sit where they usually do, each a different kind of yes.
