Is it worth the price?

AUCHENTOSHAN Three Wood is a Lowland single malt Scotch from the Auchentoshan distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 4.5 out of 5 across 53 reviews. It is tracked at 2 retailers, ranging from €57.90 to €69.73, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €49.40. That is 1.29× the model estimate — a mild premium over what its age, strength and house predict. 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 Auchentoshan bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
