    My process is always the same, see what your friend currently has on his shelf. Go find a high end bottle from that particular distillery. These scotches are developed by the same master distilled at each location. The safest bet is that if he likes a particular brand's $50 bottle, he will love their $175. You will rarely go wrong with this approach.

    We got talking about drinking. He likes Glenlivet and Johnny walker gold, but not blue. I know johnny is popular, I'll just have to make a trip to the store to see what's out there for Glenlivet. Still open to suggestions of anyone who knows about that one or really any ideas

    Blue is better than gold.

    If he likes Johnny Walker, then get him the green label. It is my personal favorite, and I have had many bottles of blue label including the King George the V version. He obviously likes a smoother scotch rather than peety. Glenlivet 21 is incredible, around $200 per bottle though.

    Blue is more expensive than gold but that doesn't mean it's better..... I think the gold ( now platinum) has more flavor than the blue.

    Gold is a very light/sweet scotch. If that's the type he likes, buy him a bottle of Cardhu 12. It's a $70 bottle that I use to break people in to scotch. Smokier than gold, but sweeter as well. Given the favorable impression toward Glinlevit and JW Gold, I highly recommend it.

    Platinum is NOT a relabel of Gold.

    What would you call platinum then? The gold changes to gold reserve with no date info
