1/The distance across Speyside this week runs from a bottle sitting eight-tenths of a percent above its own jury to one sitting more than 58% above it. Same region, same fair-value yardstick. Seventy-five bottles, all priced live at Dan Murphy's this Thursday.
2/Ranked by how far each price sits over the fair value its own 360° jury gives it. Percent, not dollars — the range is too wide to read otherwise, entry blends up to nearly $800. Nothing here dips below its mean, so the hot end is "closest to fair", never a discount.
3/The fair end is entry Speyside, all live this week. Glen Moray Classic litre at $88, about eight-tenths of a percent over. Its Shiraz Finish at $72. Grant's Triple Wood litre at $68. A rung back, Glen Moray Classic 700 at $71 and Glen Grant Arboralis at $71.
4/Reads the way Speyside reads: sherry and dark fruit, apple, a little rum-cask sweetness, American oak underneath. Pooled from the shelf's own reviews, region-wide. Honest whisky, priced honestly.
5/The cold end is where I'd slow down. Chivas Regal Ultis, $285, sits about 58% over its own mean — the widest gap on the shelf by a distance, and roughly double the next one along. That's the whole shelf's outlier, and it's a live price, not a stale one.
6/Behind it the age tax does the rest. Glenfiddich Grand Cru 23 at $559, near 28% over. Aberlour A'Bunadh at $155, about 25%. Glenfarclas 25 at $390 and Tomintoul 25 at $733 sit close behind, mid-twenties each.
7/So the tidy read: Speyside's fair value lives at the bottom of the shelf, and the premiums climb with age — bar one blended malt that stands well clear of the field. Cheaper honest pour this Thursday, Glen Moray Classic litre at $88 or Grant's Triple Wood litre at $68?
