In reply to Bottom Clinger:
At this time of year, you can get quite a few of the popular reasonable malts for £20-25 in the various supermarkets. Glenlivet founder's reserve often gets reduced into that range (just, IIRC).
Having said that, there are several I would prefer to Glenlivet founder's reserve, which was the distillery's response to "oh damn, we're selling so much whisky that we've run out of older stuff and can't produce enough Glenlivet 12/15/18/etc, we better produce a special with some younger stuff in it".
Not blaming Glenlivet, this was an issue across most (if not all) of the well known distilleries.
