I'm not the biggest fan of Glenlivet. I bought some of it and some Bruichladdich at the same time to test some scotches I hadn't tried and it came off second best, and I'm not even particularly crazy about bruich. That said, it was the 12yo.. Got a 15yr old Glenfiddich at home i'm not a fan of either... I tend to give it to guests... don't know what it is about it... was expensive as fuck but I like cheaper blends like Chivas more.. Maybe they're just easier to drink.
Personally I still can't go past Laphraoigs or Lagavulin. I had a friend over and got the lagavulin out and they went "oh, I saw this on the west wing - the president was drinking it!" and besides feeling like a massive wanker, and also knowing full well it was just product placement I did have a small chuckle to myself as they reverentially sipped at this shot of liquid gold carefully when i'd been drinking it from the bottle like a hobo the day before. I only got it because I read a review comparing it to Laphraoigs but it's only mostly awesome.
