Is it worth the price?

TAMNAVULIN Sherry Cask is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the Tamnavulin distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 4.6 out of 5 across 24 reviews. It is tracked at 2 retailers, ranging from €27.90 to €34.85, while the valuation model estimates a fair price of around €30.90. That is 1.02× 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 Tamnavulin 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.
