The Glen Grant 10 is $70 for members at Dan Murphy's this week. It usually sells around $76, and across what we've seen it has run between $70 and $81.
So at $70 for members, with that usual of $76 behind it, this is about as low as we've seen it.
Here's a way to place that. Take the drinkers of the bottles sitting nearest The Glen Grant 10, and ask what each would pay for it, each starting from what they pay for their own. An Aberfeldy 12 drinker lands at about $93 — that's 89% of what their own bottle costs them — marking The Glen Grant down for not being from the Highlands and for being younger than theirs. The other way round, a Glen Grant 10 drinker puts Aberfeldy 12 at about 98% of their own bottle, marking it down for being older than theirs and for its sherry and dried fruit. Across those nearest bottles, the answers run from $67 to $93. At $70 for members, this week's price sits inside what those drinkers would pay.
Pour it on a warm afternoon and it's clear why The Glen Grant 10 is an easy one to start on. It's light for a Speysider, floral and fresh, with honeyed vanilla and lively fruit, a touch of marshmallow and hay underneath. The finish comes soft and dry. Straightforward and uncomplicated — a clean introductory malt that's easy to embrace.
If you want a change, three bottles stand in, and they differ more in style than in what they give you. Glen Moray 12 returns a Glen Grant 10 drinker about 99% of what their own bottle gives, for 101% of the price — $71 for members, usually around $75 — and it leans sweeter, matured in bourbon casks, with honey, icing sugar, toffee bonbons and orange peel. The Glenlivet 12, $79 this week and usually $79, comes in at about 99% as well, for 112% of the price, and it's the most layered of the three: lily, orchid and pineapple over a thick creaminess, with mandarin and a sneeze of white pepper once you add water. Aberfeldy 12 sits furthest out at $104, usually $104, giving about 98% for 149% of the price, with lively tropical fruit, honey, vanilla and an orange marmalade finish. Weighed per standard drink, that's $3.21 for the Glen Moray, $3.56 for the Glenlivet and $4.71 for the Aberfeldy, against about $6.28 for a pour of a $13 pint at the pub — all three come in under a pint poured at home.
If The Glen Grant 10 is already your bottle, $70 for members is the news this week, and there's nothing to chase. Glen Moray 12 drinkers will find much the same for about the same money, a shade sweeter in the glass. Already settled on The Glenlivet 12? You can come down a little in price and keep nearly all of what you like, trading away only a touch of complexity. And if Aberfeldy 12 is your usual, The Glen Grant 10 is the lighter, younger, Speyside end of that same easy-going style — worth a look while it's at $70.
