Deep in the remote, wild valley of the River Livet, George Smith famously risked the wrath of local illicit distillers to establish the first licensed distillery in the parish in 1824. The Glenlivet's signature bright, elegant, and fruity spirit is shaped by the mineral-rich waters of Josie's Well and the tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills designed by Smith himself. This 13-year-old expression is matured exclusively in first-fill American white oak casks. These casks, previously used only to age American bourbon, impart a lavish layer of sweet vanilla, creamy coconut, and warm baking spices onto the distillery's classic orchard-fruit and floral character, creating a beautifully balanced and velvety single malt.

Established in 1824 by George Smith in the remote Glenlivet valley of Speyside, Scotland, The Glenlivet is legendary as the first licensed distillery in the parish, setting the standard for Speyside single malts. Now owned by Pernod Ricard, the distillery draws its mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and utilizes lantern-shaped copper pot stills to produce a characteristically bright, elegant, and fruity spirit. The Glenlivet is globally renowned for its exceptional wood management, utilizing traditional oak, American white oak, and French Limousin oak casks to age signature expressions such as the 12 Year Old, the 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve, and the rare Winchester Collection.
