| I'm not sure about Costco outlets everywhere in the U.S., but here in southeast Florida, I advise a run because this excellent bottle is priced for a short time at a mere $35. Costco's sign in front of the display indicates that it's an $8 discount from the regular price of $43. When it reverts back to the higher price, it's still a bargain as the G12 is normally priced at $56 and higher elsewhere. |

Just came back from Costco in Southern Ontario Canada. Best I could do was a BBQ chicken. No liquor sold here other than in government stores.

Bought and opened one last week. Absolutely beautiful clean sherry dram. A huge leap up from the 10. |

| How heavily sherried is it? Does it compare, say, with the Glendronach 12 or the older Glenfarclas expressions? |

Have not tried the other Glenfarclas expressions. Working from memory only, and not a side by side taste test, I would say the G12 compares favorably with the Balvenie 12 yr Double Wood in terms of sherry influence. IMO, there is a more pronounced sherry influence from the higher ABV (46%) Glenmorangie Lasanta. |

It is strong but clean sherry (if that makes sense). I have it alongside a GD Revival at he moment and the GF 12 is like a lighter more refined version of it. Highly recommended. |

Thanks, that does sound good. I have a bottle of Glenfarclas 30 on the go at the moment, as well as a GlenDronach Revival, and those two are probably my all-time favourite sherried malts. But I think I'll almost certainly go for the Glenfarclas 12 as well now it's on offer. |
