Today, Glenfiddich's Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, has faithfully replicated a true taste of history. By skilfully nosing and tasting the original 1963 sample and following the original recipe from one of Glenfiddich's 1960s leather bound ledgers; he has exactly reproduced its celebrated fresh and fruity taste. Brian Kinsman commented: "Glenfiddich has an unrivalled collection of rare and aged single malts from which we can draw on to create innovative whiskies. Using this collection we were able to replicate the original Glenfiddich Straight Malt. Glenfiddich The Original is a true taste of history. It's an honour to unveil this exclusive whisky which is light and fruity with hints of sherry spice from the European oak sherry butts that were predominantly used in the 1960s."
