Is it worth the price?

AN CNOC Peated Sherry is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the AnCnoc distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 3.6 out of 5 across 5 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €49.90, against a model fair price of around €45.35. That is 1.10× 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 4 AnCnoc bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
