Is it worth the price?

DALMORE 25 Years Old is a Highland single malt Scotch from the Dalmore distillery, bottled at 25 years old. Tasters score it 5.0 out of 5 across 1 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €1,595.00, against a model fair price of around €421.09. That is 3.79× 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. It is one of 13 Dalmore bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
