Is it worth the price?

JURA 12 Years Old is an Island single malt Scotch from the Jura distillery, bottled at 12 years old. Tasters score it 4.6 out of 5 across 61 reviews. It is tracked at 3 retailers, ranging from €39.51 to €39.95, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €36.59. That is 1.09× 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 13 Jura bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
