Well, I was going to recommend the Balvenie too -- their Doublewood is perhaps the most complex Speyside malt I've ever tasted. It's like a wine -- a red, a cabernet.
You might have her search out the sort of bottlings that have hand-signed, hand-numbered labels. I once encountered a Glenrothes (another Speyside malt), serial-numbered, and old enough for a driver's license. Nice and smooth, and it presented as a Speyside usually does, with a sweetness and a grainy quality.
Is it just me or are there more and more Islay malts showing up? Seems like it's boom times for Scotches.
