Is it worth the price?
ABERLOUR Casg Annamh is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the Aberlour distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 4.6 out of 5 across 81 reviews. It is tracked at 4 retailers, ranging from €49.41 to €86.00, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €74.70. That is 0.75× the model estimate — well below what its age, strength and house predict, and one of the clearer value picks in the data. 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.
