Mortlach 15 vs Mortlach 16

I have been thinking of getting a bottle of Mortlach and both the G&M 15yo and the F&F 16yo have gotten rave reviews here (4 reviews all above 90). But I need to make a choice (for the moment ;-). Any suggestions as to which one I should choose ?

I like all sorts of Whisky both peated and un-peated. My main thing is not so much taste as palate; I like strong tastes, and thick viscous/oily bodies.

I like the F&F bottling better. I've tasted the G&M bottling only once, but it was sharper and more sulphury than the 16 yo. Less sherried as well. The 16 yo is, in my opinion, richer in taste and more balanced, while the 15 yo is rougher. But seeing that you like a strong palate, perhaps the G&M bottling would suit your taste better? I recall the F&F being oilier, though.

Defiantly the Flora & Fauna 16 year old, miles better in my opinion. Its much beefier and bolder. I personally found the G&M 15 year old a bit of a let down.
