1/A price guide for Glenfarclas 15 and the three single malts closest to it. What each usually sells for, the range we've seen, and what a standard drink costs at this week's price. Glenfarclas 15 is the anchor: a full-bodied, sherry-cask malt, non-chill filtered, with dried fruit, toffee, roast oak and a little leather and spice.
2/| Bottle | Usually around | Range we've seen | This week | Per standard drink, this week | |---|---:|---|---:|---:| | Glenfarclas 15 | $130 | $130–$195 | $130 | $5.12 | | The GlenDronach 15 Revival | $176 | $176 | $176 | $6.93 | | The Glendronach 12 | $119 | $100–$119 | $119 | — | | Glengoyne 18 | $276 | $220–$276 | $276 | $11.62 |
3/All four sit at their everyday price this week — nothing here is a special. Glenfarclas 15 usually sells around $130; at $5.12 a standard drink, a pour at home lands under a pint at the pub ($6.28). The GlenDronach 15 Revival works out to $6.93 and Glengoyne 18 to $11.62, both a little over the pint. Two of the range lows were Father's Day prices: the Glendronach 12 at $100, Glengoyne 18 at $220.
