I recently got a bottle of Glenlivet and was thinking about trying it tonight. The only scotch I have ever had was one small glass of Johnny Walker Blue.
Is Glenlivet a decent first time Scotch for someone thats basically never tried it before? |

Yes it is good stuff it is a single malt. Is it 12, 15 or 18 year old? I really like the 15. Pour in glass with ice....let sit for a few minutes... Swirl around and enjoy

Glenlivet is great stuff for single malt on a budget
I would advise against water though, water opens it up and makes it rather bitter. Just wait until you work yourself into a bottle of balvenie doublewood you will be hooked! |

This is Scotch whiskey; Glenlivet; single malt. When
you die, you'll go to heaven. You say "Hello" to God, and when God says "Hello" to you, this is what you'll smell on his breath. |

If you pour it over ice it'll go down like water.. Be careful. Been there done that. Never again.

I like scotch over ice, slightly melted, or in a Godfather, which is where you add anywhere from a splash to 1/3 of amaretto, over ice. Hell, you have the whole bottle. Try it neat, try it over ice, try a godfather, try it with club soda, try a scotch and water. Report back to us with your recommendation :)

Any blended Scotch will do fine. |

His whole speech on people that like fish as long as it doesn't taste fishy. "I don't think you really like fish!" |

Its a good solid basic scotch. A slash of cool water can help, I think most people find it hard to really find many flavors over 40% alcohol.

Glenlivet is pretty tame among the single malts. It's not particularly distinctive, but it's not offensive either.
No ice. The Glenlivet distillery recommends a splash of spring water. |

Glenvelvet, it's my preferred cheap single malt. Glenlivet is good, but believe it or not I prefer Glenmorangie as a utility single malt. Until a couple years ago it was cheaper too. |
