The Glenlivet is now owned by Pernod-Ricard, I believe? --

I live in NSW, Australia and I can buy 16 yo Nadurra over the counter in many decent bottle shops. It's said on here it's only available from travel outlets, but that's not the case here... 60.242.154.34 ( talk) 07:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Wow this page is dead. There must be someone out there with info to add. If nobody does anything I am going to read a book on the subject. HighInBC 01:10, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
It wasn't the first licensed distillery in Scotland. Seagram sold Chivas to Pernod-Ricard a few years ago. The other distillery was called Braes of Glenlivet but was renamed Braeval.
Does anyone know the proper way to drink scotch? (Asked 24 September 2006)
I possess two bottles of "Old Vatted Glenlivet (the N is inverted) Scotch Whiskey" dated 1862. Anyone have have idea as to its value? (TPL- 16 Dec. 2006)
I read on a visit to the whisky museum at Dufftown that the use of the word "Glenlivet" by the other Speyside distilleries was an attempt to genericize the trademark to mean "Speyside malt whisky", in the same way we use biro and hoover. The legal action that resulted in the real thing becoming "The Glenlivet" rather than stopping the use of the word "Glenlivet" in this way, if anything allowed this to continue - but there are plenty of Speyside malts that do not use the word, perhaps proving that the genericization was a flawed idea. Worthy of note in the article proper? EmleyMoor ( talk) 12:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
There's a paragraph detailing this using the references I had available at the time. The sources I've got make no mention of an attempted genericization, rather an attempt by other distillers to use the good name of The Glenlivet in order to sell their product. Nick ( talk) 15:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
The quality of the product from their distillery had resulted in the other distilleries in the area renaming their products to 'Glenlivet' and by the time of George's death, several distillers were doing so, this prompted J.G. Smith to take legal action and, although only partially successful, it permitted only his distillery at Minmore to use the title The Glenlivet on its own, with other distilleries permitted to hyphenate their distillery name with 'Glenlivet', which resulted in names such as the The Glen Moray-Glenlivet Distillery, which is situated nearby.
Major issue is the lede, which I've detailed below. Other issues are mainly prose flow issues.
Details:
The big issue here is the lede. It needs to summarize the article, and everything mentioned in it should also be in the article itself. All the other issues are prose flow issues and should be easy to fix.
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

Is Glenlivet whisky Scottish or Irish? The article gives no information on this.

Some of the writing in this article seems extremely partial, even going so far as to cite Glenlivet's website (a Pernod Ricard brand). Seems to warrant significant modifications.
