Glenfarclas 15 dips under what its jury calls fair

Sources

• generate_cycle.py replay payload, artefact 2026-08-20-replay/price-raid/glenfarclas-15-year-old-single-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml-494270; harvest pair base 2026-08-13, latest 2026-08-20.
• List price $195 (claim value 195.0; grounding.current_price 195.0; harvest price_list $194.99 both 2026-08-13 and 2026-08-20, unchanged). Member offer $146 this week (grounding.current_price_harvest 146.0; harvest price_member $146.00, on_offer yes, member_offer_flag yes 2026-08-20); no offer 2026-08-13 (price_member = price_list = $194.99, on_offer no).
• CE 360° fair value: mean $164.74, band floor $152.68 (2026-08-20.r dossier glenfarclas-15-year-old-single-malt-scot-neighbourhood.md, reference card; gap over consensus 15.5% = 73rd percentile). Ten-member jury per the CE 360 construction.
• Character: factor profile Sherry & Dried Fruit 0.27 (sherry, dried fruit, richness, walnut) — same dossier.

Omissions

• No peer prices are quoted, so the standing rests on the bottle's own CE 360 jury, not on a live cross-read of its cohort's current tickets.
• Member basis: the $146 is a My Dan Murphy's member price; non-members pay the unchanged $195 shelf. Stated in the post.
• No percentage move is quoted: two snapshots cannot separate a repricing from an offer, so the piece states the offer's presence, not a trend.

Notes for reviewer

• The deal clears the format's real bar: $146 is under the CE 360 mean ($164.74) and under the band floor ($152.68), so there is a standing story, not a bare temporal claim.
• Replay draft on rehearsal vintage 2026-08-20.r; may_publish: false and never flips in replay.

Format note

Price raid, member basis. Move measured on the harvest pair 2026-08-13 → 2026-08-20: the list price is unchanged at $195 both weeks; the $146 is a My Dan Murphy's member offer present this week and absent last week (member-to-member comparison, not a member/non-member basis mismatch). Standing read against the bottle's own CE 360 fair value ($164.74, 2026-08-20.r dossier). flag OK, corrected false.
