1/This is a price guide. We set The Macallan Double Cask 15 next to the three single malts closest to it, and show what each usually sells around, the range we've seen, and what a pour costs this week. Have a read, then draw your own line.
2/Here it is, side by side:
3/This week, three of the four sit right where they usually do. The Macallan Double Cask 15 is $378, its everyday price, which comes to $15.92 a pour at home. The Double Cask 18 is $636, also usual, at $26.78 a pour. The Macallan 12 is $137 again. The one above its usual is the Balvenie DoubleWood 12 at $105; it usually sells around $100, so a little over, and if you're not in a hurry it tends to come in under that.
