Is it worth the price?

GLENGLASSAUGH 12 Years Old is a Highland single malt Scotch from the Glenglassaugh distillery, bottled at 12 years old. Tasters score it 4.7 out of 5 across 3 reviews. It is tracked at 4 retailers, ranging from €49.50 to €63.50, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €71.35. That is 0.84× 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 3 Glenglassaugh bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
