Glenfiddich x Aston Martin Formula One 16 Year Old

The Glenfiddich x Aston Martin Formula One 16 Year Old is a limited-edition collaboration between two iconic British brands — Glenfiddich's independent Speyside distillery and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team — celebrating shared values of precision, craft, and performance.

The whisky itself is a 16-year Speyside single malt assembled from three cask types: American oak wine casks, new American barrels, and second-fill bourbon casks. This combination produces a richer, fuller expression than standard bourbon-cask Glenfiddich — the wine casks add fruit complexity and subtle sweetness, the new American barrels contribute vanilla and spice intensity, and the second-fill bourbon provides the structural backbone. Malt Master Brian Kinsman approved every cask.

Presented in distinctive teal and gold packaging reflecting the Aston Martin F1 livery, with the Glenfiddich stag on the bottle. At 43% ABV it has slightly more presence than the 12-year core expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 limited edition?

Yes — it is a limited-edition collaboration release with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, not part of Glenfiddich's permanent standard range.

How does this compare to standard Glenfiddich expressions?

The three-cask maturation including wine casks gives this expression more fruit complexity and body than the standard 12-year. At 16 years it is also more developed with greater oak integration.
