Is it worth the price?

BUNNAHABHAIN STAOISHA 5 Years Old 2014 COLLECTIVE 4.0 is an Islay single malt Scotch from the Bunnahabhain distillery, bottled at 5 years old. Tasters score it 5.0 out of 5 across 1 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €115.00, against a model fair price of around €44.21. That is 2.60× the model estimate — well above what its age, strength and house predict, a substantial 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. Of the 13 Bunnahabhain bottlings priced here, this is the weakest value.
