1/What are you paying for in a bottle of The Glen Grant 10? Price its features the way the rest of the range at Dan Murphy's is priced, and you land near $96. This week the bottle is $66. That is about 31% under the going rate for what it is.
2/That $96 breaks down by feature. Its age is the biggest part at 51%. The name on the label is 21%. Being a single malt is 16%, and strength 12%. Most of what you pay for sits in the ten years, not the pour.
3/The going rate can't see the glass. The Glen Grant 10 is strongest in green tea, with orchard fruit, malt and citrus behind it. Light and floral, honeyed vanilla, a touch of hay. None of the features that set the price put a number on any of that.
4/Want to spend more? Glen Moray 12 is $79 this week and gives a Glen Grant 10 drinker about 98% of what this bottle does. That is $3.58 a standard drink, under the $6.28 a $13 pint runs. More is not always more. Both say yes; the $66 says it clearest.
