A price guide: Aultmore 12 and its closest single malts

mergedmay_publish truequality passsite_publish trueprices: 4 price claim(s) verified live

1/A price guide is a simple thing: what a bottle usually sells for, the range it has moved through, and what one standard drink of it costs. This one starts from Aultmore 12 and sets its three closest single malts beside it: Glencadam 10, Glencadam 15 and Deanston 12. Read down the table first, then read this week against it.

2/The guide, bottle by bottle:

3/This week, Aultmore 12 sits at $116, the only figure it has shown, and it usually sells around $116. Glencadam 15 is at $140, the floor of its range, and it usually sells around $140; the 15 is back after a couple of years away, floral on the nose with honey and nutmeg on the palate.
