Is it worth the price?

CAOL ILA 10 Years Old 2011 Whisky Live Paris 2021 Conquête Signatory Vintage is an Islay single malt Scotch from the Caol Ila distillery, bottled at 10 years old. Tasters score it 5.0 out of 5 across 1 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €135.00, against a model fair price of around €62.23. That is 2.17× the model estimate — well above what its age, strength and house predict, a substantial 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 12 Caol Ila bottlings priced here, this is the weakest value.
