Is it worth the price?

GLENMORANGIE 18 Years Old is a Highland single malt Scotch from the Glenmorangie distillery, bottled at 18 years old. Tasters score it 4.8 out of 5 across 8 reviews. It is tracked at 2 retailers, ranging from €119.00 to €145.27, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €140.85. That is 0.94× 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 6 Glenmorangie bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
