Is it worth the price?

OLD PULTENEY 2012 Flotilla is a Highland single malt Scotch from the Pulteney distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 5.0 out of 5 across 5 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €57.90, against a model fair price of around €59.67. That is 0.97× 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. Of the 6 Pulteney bottlings priced here, this is the weakest value.

Methodology estimate

The deterministic model from methodology.md: production cost per litre × bottle size, plus maturation cost per year, plus a cask premium, times an ABV factor — then multiplied by a quality grade summed across six 0–3 axes.
