Glenfiddich Unveils Limited Edition 16-Year-Old Whisky Honouring Aston Martin Formula One® Partnership
Glenfiddich, the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky, has unveiled a limited edition 16-Year-Old Single Malt to celebrate its multi-year global partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One® Team. This exclusive release blends craftsmanship, precision, and performance, reflecting the shared values of two iconic brands.
Crafted from a meticulous marriage of American oak wine casks, new American barrels, and second-fill bourbon casks, the Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old offers an indulgent sensory experience. Rich aromas of maple syrup, caramelised ginger, and a biscuity cheesecake base open the palate, revealing layers of fresh fruit salad and Chantilly cream, finishing with bold, smooth persistence—much like an Aston Martin on the racetrack.
“At Glenfiddich, we’re committed to creating exceptional whiskies that honour tradition while embracing innovation. The Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old combines craftsmanship and precision in a whisky that invites exploration and discovery, much like our journey with the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team.”
says Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich’s Master Distiller
The Speyside distillery announced its exclusive partnership with Aston Martin Formula One™ Team in November 2024, marking the union of two brands renowned for heritage, innovation, and pursuit of excellence. The collaboration debuted at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where both brands celebrated their shared passion for mastery and design.
“We are thrilled to unveil this limited edition bottling in celebration of our partnership with Aston Martin Formula One Team. It invites enthusiasts worldwide to engage with these iconic brands in bold new ways and create memorable moments beyond the racetrack.”
Claudia Falcone, Global Brand Director at Glenfiddich, adds:
In South Africa, the Glenfiddich 16YO will feature in a luxury campaign celebrating rarity and racing spirit, including the exclusive Club 1959 lifestyle event coinciding with the Formula One semi-finals in October.
“This release delivers authenticity, craft, and a compelling story. The Glenfiddich 16YO is a collector’s item for those who live with passion and precision.”
Søren Hagh, CEO of William Grant & Sons, notes:
Available at leading South African retail stores for R1699.99, this limited edition whisky is an invitation to savour speed, spirit, and legacy in every pour.
Please enjoy Glenfiddich responsibly. Never drink and drive.
