"The Glenlivet 13yo First Fill American Oak has benefited from extensive aging for a minimum of 13 years, in American oak barrels which had never before been used to mature Scotch whisky. These oak barrels, a popular choice for distillers since the 1900s, create a perfect harmony between the barrel and the spirit.
  
The American oak barrel gives aromas of caramel and honey, followed by aromas of vanilla and milk chocolate, always accompanied by the fruity style of The Glenlivet House.
