Is it worth the price?

BENRIACH 1984 is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the BenRiach distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 5.0 out of 5 across 1 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €350.00, against a model fair price of around €85.05. That is 4.12× the model estimate — a price driven far more by the label than by what the model can explain. 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. Of the 11 BenRiach bottlings priced here, this is the weakest value.

Methodology estimate

The deterministic model from methodology.md: production cost per litre × bottle size, plus maturation cost per year, plus a cask premium, times an ABV factor — then multiplied by a quality grade summed across six 0–3 axes.
