Glenfiddich, the World’s Most Awarded Scotch Whisky[1], has unveiled a limited edition Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, celebrating its multi-year partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. This exclusive new release exemplifies the perfect balance of precision and intuition, reflecting the values shared by both Glenfiddich and Aston Martin.
The Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old is crafted from a carefully selected marriage of American oak wine casks, new American barrels, and second-fillbourbon casks. This meticulous blending process yields a whisky rich in character with distinct notes of maple syrup and caramelised ginger. A silky palate of fresh fruit salad and Chantilly cream builds to a finish that is both smooth and bold, offering a quality that eludes precise measurement, much like the intuitive connection between a driver and their car.
Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich’s Malt Master, commented:
“At Glenfiddich, we’re committed to creating exceptional whiskies that honour tradition, whilst embracing innovation. The Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old is a true testament to this philosophy. It combines craftsmanship and precision in a whisky that invites exploration and discovery, much like the journey of our partnership with Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. It’s a celebration of blending tradition with the thrill of innovation.”
The Speyside distillery announced an exclusive long-term partnership with Aston Martin Formula One™ Team in November 2024 – bringing together two timeless brands renowned for their heritage, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
The partnership launched at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team toasted this new collaboration, which celebrates mastery and design.
Claudia Falcone, Global Brand Director at Glenfiddich said:
“We are thrilled to unveil this limited edition bottling in celebration of our partnership Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. Through this collaboration we invite enthusiasts worldwide to engage with these two iconic brands in bold new ways and create memorable moments that reach far beyond the racetrack. This limited-edition bottling is just the beginning as we continue to write the next chapter together.”
