Is it worth the price?
TOMINTOUL 8 Years Old is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the Tomintoul distillery, bottled at 8 years old. Tasters score it 3.0 out of 5 across 1 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €115.00, against a model fair price of around €23.63. That is 4.87× the model estimate — a price driven far more by the label than by what the model can explain. 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 2 Tomintoul bottlings priced here, this is the weakest value.
