mergedmay_publish truequality passsite_publish trueprices: 3 price claim(s) verified live

1/This is a price guide. It sets out what Glenfiddich 12 — the world's best-selling single malt — usually sells for, alongside its two closest like-for-like bottles, Glen Moray 12 and Aberfeldy 12. For each one: the price it tends to sit at, the range we've seen it move through, and what a single standard drink works out to this week. Read it as a baseline. The next post has the table; the one after reads this week against it.

2/| Bottle | Usually around | Range we've seen | This week | Per standard drink, this week | |---|---:|---|---:|---:| | Glenfiddich 12 | $77 | $75–$80 | $79 | $3.57 | | Glen Moray 12 | $79 | $71–$79 | $71 for members | $3.21 | | Aberfeldy 12 | $104 | $104 | $104 | $4.71 |

3/Glenfiddich 12 sits at $79 this week; it usually sells around $77, so this is its everyday price. Aberfeldy 12 holds at $104, again its everyday price. Glen Moray 12 shows $71, a members' price and an event low; it usually sells around $79.
