BUNNAHABHAIN 11 Years Old Sherry Discovery Gordon & Macphail
Is it worth the price?
BUNNAHABHAIN 11 Years Old Sherry Discovery Gordon & Macphail is an Islay single malt Scotch from the Bunnahabhain distillery, bottled at 11 years old. Tasters score it 1.0 out of 5 across 1 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €65.00, against a model fair price of around €74.82. That is 0.87× 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 13 Bunnahabhain bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
