1/The model puts a Speyside single malt and a Canadian blend seventh-closest in the whole set. Cragganmore 12, the Speyside, at $86. Canadian Club 12 across from it. Two shelves that never share a bay.
2/Read what that closeness is. It's the arithmetic on their flavour make-up sitting near each other, not two glasses poured side by side. Profile geometry. Nobody's saying they taste the same.
3/The value read points at the Cragganmore. It sits under the floor of its own Speyside peers and at the bottom of its own recent range. Two separate measures, both saying cheap, neither leaning on the other. $86 the bottle.
4/Canadian Club reads cheap too, and I'd trust that one less as a signal: its $80 is a member price, not the shelf. Good if you're a member, worth checking before you count on it.
