HP 18 vs. HP12 + Glenlivet 15

[ClubSmed]

I have got a Tesco voucher burning a hole in my pocket so, should I buy :
a bottle of Highland Park 18
or
a bottle of Highland Park 12 and Glenlivet 15

While I voted for the HP12/GL15, it really does depend upon your preference of the 12 over the 18. I don't greatly prefer the 18 over the 12. I may even prefer the 12 straight up. If you really like the Glenlivet 15, it then becomes a no brainer as you now get a variety. Something that features heather honey and smoke and something that is lighter citrus allowing you whiskies for two different occasions.

If you really like the Glenlivet 15, it then becomes a no brainer as you now get a variety.

That's the whole key to this equation.

Much as I treasure HP18, the option to garner two bottles of very good whisky rather than a mere single seems rather attractive, no?

H.P. 18, Big fan.

I'm assuming you've had all three before and liked them. If so, I would suggest that two is definitely better than one.

For me personally, the Glenlivet is undesirable so I'd go with the HP18.

[Reggaeblues]

My instincts too. Rather have one excellent whisky than two good ones.

I voted HP 18 because how often are you going to go out and buy one? You will more likely buy one of the HP12 or Glenlivit 15 first (or on a more regular basis) as they are cheaper. So if you get a chance for a more expensive treat bottle - GO FOR IT!
