Glenlivet 21 or Macallan 17?

I got $130 of scotch money burning a hole in my pocket. What say you, B&B brothers? The Glenlivet Archive 21 year or The Macallan Fine Oak 17 year?
 
And thus, the problem with scotch. So many good ones!

Buy one you've never tried. I don't think you can go wrong with scotch at that price point.
 
Totally different styles. The Glenlivet is a highland, smooth, soft whisky. The Mac has a lot more peat and 'sea briny' flavors.

Both are speysides. Glenlivet is floral, fruity. Macallan, has a lot of sherry. I haven't tried the fine oak series tho but i hear it's a bit lighter.

Peat & briny? That sounds like laphroig
