Question

What whiskey could possibly be better than The Glenlivet?

Answer 1

My absolute favorites are Glenfarclas Ardbeg and Springbank, and even among Speys I'll go Balvenie over most Glenlivets. Not that I don't love the stuff.

Outside of Scotland, there are some great Irish whiskies and Bourbons and I'm even fond of a few Japanese whiskies.

Answer 2

I think that k**b Creek, or Woodford Reserve are very good bourbon whiskey's.  The Glenlivet is great scotch, Johnny Walker Blue Label is probably better than The Glenlivet, in my opinion.

Answer 3

Ardbeg, it's a bit of an acquired taste and is a bit more expensive than some others.

That would be my recommendation though.

Ignore the American "Whisky" or bourbon, whatever they are calling it.

Go Scottish.

Answer 4

For my taste The Macallan is the best hands down

Answer 5

The first time I had a 15 year old Black Maple Hill bourbon I asked, "What could possible be better than this?"

Then I had a 15 year old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon and asked, "What could possibly be better than this?"

Then I had a 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle and asked, "What could be better than this?"

Then I had an 18 year old Macallan and was certain that there was no finer whisky.  Until I had a 17 year old Mannochmore from Signatory and was convinced that was the best.

But really, the best whiskey I've ever had was the one I was sharing with friends who also enjoyed whiskey.  I'll take a Jack Daniels with friends over the finest Scottish single malt by myself any day.

Answer 6

Jameson

Answer 7

im from ky, so its the bourbon that i make in my backyard in my still. hahahaha!!!

Answer 8

Makers Mark is better

Answer 9

I am from the USA, but I have relatives in England. When we visited, nearly everyone had a private stash of scotch that was brought out and enjoyed by all. Glenlievet was one of those, and was most memorable.

Answer 10

Glenlivet is a great scotch but I prefer Makers Mark or VO.

Answer 11

Wouldn't that be a matter of personal taste?
