There are many reasons that a bottle of the Glenlivet 12-Year-Old Whisky makes an excellent gift. It is considered one of the best “intro” scotches, meaning it’s appealing for a range of palettes, even those who don’t particularly enjoy the more traditional scotch expressions (usually because of their strong smoke and peat flavors). Glenlivet 12 is expertly balanced and smooth, and you can feel confident gifting a bottle.
