Same money, this week. Glencadam 10 and Dalwhinnie 15: $0 between them a bottle. But 46% against 43% tips it — the Glencadam is the cheaper drink, $3.74 a standard drink against $4.00. Per standard drink: Glencadam 10, $95 — $3.74 Deanston 12, $97 — $3.79 Dalwhinnie 15, $95 — $4.00 Tomatin 12, $98 — $4.13 Glencadam 15, $140 — $5.51 A pint at the pub is about $6.28 a drink. All five sit under it, poured at home. The Dalwhinnie's still there for that honeyed, chunky middle: caramelised fruit, a little cream, a nightcap you sip slow.
