Is it worth the price?

GLENFIDDICH 21 Years Old Gran Reserva is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the Glenfiddich distillery, bottled at 21 years old. Tasters score it 4.8 out of 5 across 13 reviews. It is tracked at 2 retailers, ranging from €217.33 to €229.00, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €167.25. That is 1.33× 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 10 Glenfiddich bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
