The Glenlivet 12-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glenlivet is probably the most famous and most popular single malt scotch in the US, so I guess I expected a lot out of it. Unfortunately, this scotch does not have a lot of anything. It is so light in color and flavor that it almost tastes watered down. I have to admit it is easy to drink, and does have a nice mellow peatiness, but it just isn't that interesting. I suppose that it would be appropriate for those with "delicate palates" so if you don't like scotch much but want a bottle to impress the Joneses with, by all means go for it. At $40 for a 750 ml bottle, though, it's the last time I buy anything from that particular distillery.
