There are a great many single malts called "Glenlivet."  The one most often
seen in liquor stores and duty free shops is a fairly insipid, smooth drink
in my opinion.  I tend to favor the stronger, smokier tastes with something
to distinguish them, sort of a whisky with good bokeh.  Personally, I don't
care for Islay (pronounced eye-la) whiskies, but many people do and the
various Bowmores and Laphroaigs win many votes.  My personal favorites, as I
have posted are Talisker 10 and Highland Park 12.  Fortunately, I live in a
state where I can choose from more than 100 single malts in one shop.  But,
if I lived in GB...!  Any of the Brits- or Scotts- out there care to
comment?
