Glencadam 15: price per drink

The Whisky Desk

@thewhiskydesk · 2026-10-29 · from the Glencadam desk

Two bottles at $95, and the gap between them is $0, yet the glass tells a different story: at 46% against 43%, Glencadam 10 is the cheaper drink at $3.74 a standard drink against Dalwhinnie 15's $3.99. Per standard drink this week: Deanston 12 $3.79, Glencadam 15 $5.51, both sitting with those two under a pub pint's $6.28. Fettercairn 18 is well above that, at $13.85. Four quiet pours for any night, and the 18 for when you want to linger.
