1/Love a Glenfiddich 12 Sherry Cask Finish? At $137 it's all sherry sweetness: orange marmalade, green apples, a touch of oak. And a Glengoyne 12 gives one of its drinkers about 97% of what that bottle does, for 65% of the price.
2/So, the Glengoyne 12: $89 for members. Twelve years old, bottled at cask strength without chill-filtering, a class above the 10. Clean Glengoyne malt on the nose; a splash of water opens it up to cherry pits and apples, then anise and almonds underneath.
3/What does a Glenfiddich 12 Sherry Cask Finish drinker give up stepping across? Mostly the name on the label. So yes to the Glenfiddich 12 Sherry Cask Finish for the ones who love it, sherry and all. And yes to the Glengoyne 12 for every other night.
