Is it worth the price?

MORTLACH 10 Years Old 2016 Very Cloudy Hogshead Signatory Vintage is a Speyside single malt Scotch from the Mortlach distillery, bottled at 10 years old. Tasters score it 3.5 out of 5 across 2 reviews. A single retailer lists it at €62.90, against a model fair price of around €39.29. That is 1.60× 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. Of the 3 Mortlach bottlings priced here, this is the weakest value.
