When two icons of craft and performance come together, the results are bound to impress. This fall, Glenfiddich—the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky—joins forces with the legendary Aston Martin Formula One Team to unveil two limited-edition bottlings: a 16 Year Old and a 19 Year Old. These releases mark the first year of a multi-year partnership, blending Glenfiddich’s 137-year heritage with Aston Martin’s relentless pursuit of innovation. The result? Whiskies that embody precision, intuition, and the thrill of the journey.

The Glenfiddich 16 Year Old is crafted from American oak wine casks, new American barrels, and second-fill bourbon casks. Rich with notes of maple syrup, caramelized ginger, and Chantilly cream, it balances boldness with elegance. National Brand Ambassador Jamie Johnson describes it as “smooth, bold and timeless … a complexity that’s engineered yet effortless.”

The Glenfiddich 19 Year Old, exclusive to Global Travel Retail, pushes the boundaries even further. Matured in hand-selected American and European oak casks, with a sweet spice influence from Montilla wine casks, it offers layers of Seville orange, nutmeg, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. Malt Master Brian Kinsman calls it a “testament to craftsmanship, accuracy, and passion.”
Beyond taste, the collaboration speaks to a shared philosophy. For Glenfiddich, no whisky leaves the distillery without passing under Kinsman’s nose—a tradition dating back to 1887. For Aston Martin Formula One, performance is measured not just in data, but in instinct and feel. Together, they celebrate the delicate balance between skill and intuition.
The launch follows the unveiling of the partnership at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in late 2024, setting a new precedent for luxury collaborations. With both brands rooted in excellence and driven by innovation, these whiskies are more than bottles—they’re symbols of ambition and craftsmanship.

The Glenfiddich 16 Year Old will be available this fall in select Canadian provinces, while the 19 Year Old arrives in Global Travel Retail locations in September 2025. One thing is clear: whether on the track or in the glass, Glenfiddich and Aston Martin are rewriting the standards of performance and precision.
