Prices in Reviews?

I only ever comment if I think something is very good value or if it really isn't. But I see no reason not to include value for money in a review. It shouldn't count towards scoring, but a note in the review itself is up to the reviewer.

I agree with @jdcook here (as I frequently do) that a note about the price paid is nice to have in the text but shouldn't affect the score. Not only do prices vary over time, but also widely over space. For instance, I bought a bottle of Stranahan's Colorado for $40 in Louisville, KY. And then a month ago I saw the same bottle in London, England for about twice that. While those two bottles contained the same whiskey, the latter went through much greater hardships to reach its shop than did mine.

I think a value for money indicator in reviews is a good idea but its better to keep it separate from the tasting note. Value shouldn't be considered in scoring IMHO

I think value is in some way factored into most reviews anyway, even if it isnt explicit. The price you pay for a dram or bottle cannot help but set expectations (and therefore presumably the tone of a review), in the same way that knowing which distillery it came from and how old it is contributes to the same.

In theory, blind reviews are better of course, without knowing the distillery, the price or whatever. Otherwise you're always influenced. Prices vary in different countries and they evolve as well, if we take into account the price of a Port Ellen 1st Edition, then it can never get a good review (although it wasn't outrageously expensive at the time). I always mention prices in reviews (certainly for readily available bottles) but I try to leave it out of the evaluation.
