Is it worth the price?

ABERLOUR 16 Years Old is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the Aberlour distillery, bottled at 16 years old. Tasters score it 5.0 out of 5 across 2 reviews. It is tracked at 2 retailers, ranging from €75.90 to €137.14, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €104.43. That is 1.02× the model estimate — almost exactly what its age, strength and house predict, with no meaningful brand premium. The estimate is fitted on age, bottling strength and the distillery's other prices; community ratings add no measurable signal to it, so this is not a quality judgement. Typical error is around ±65%, so read the verdict as indicative and trust it most at the extremes. It is one of 8 Aberlour bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
