Ardnamurchan Single Malt 2022
Is it worth the price?
Ardnamurchan Single Malt 2022 is a Highland single malt Scotch from the Ardnamurchan distillery, released without an age statement. Tasters score it 4.2 out of 5 across 30 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €73.22, against a model fair price of around €54.86. That is 1.33× the model estimate — a mild premium over what its age, strength and house predict. 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 3 Ardnamurchan bottlings priced here; the others are compared below.
