Glenfiddich The Original

Glenfiddich The Original is a reproduction of the original Glenfiddich Straight Malt, it has been reproduced by Glenfiddich’s Malt Master, Brian Kinsman. Glenfiddich tell me that Brian has 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.

This is a unique reproduction of the single malt whisky which changed the whisky world for ever back in 1963. Sandy Grant Gordon and Charles Grant Gordon, following in the footsteps of their pioneering forefathers, took the bold decision to launch Glenfiddich Straight Malt – the term used to describe single malt - worldwide, something no other distiller had done before. Previously blended whisky dominated the market and single malt was only available on request to very few in the know. Now a new whisky category was born and for the first time it was available worldwide.
