Hey attgig, I picked up a small (375mL) bottle of 12yr Glenlivet on the way home today, sipping it now. This is pretty good stuff! I can see why it's your standard, especially considering the more reasonable price. It's a bit smoother and more complex than Glenmorangie. More subtle, relaxed, well-rounded, not quite a sweet, maybe a little mossy/earthy. Same nutty kind of notes but less intense. IMO Glenmorangie is easily described as almond biscotti. This Glenlivet is tougher to summarize. I'm picturing a pile of almonds sitting on a mossy log in a forest.
