Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Aston Martin Limited Edition 2 2026 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

$149.00
Overview

Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Aramco Formula Oneâ„¢ Team 16 Year Old is release number two in one of the more interesting team-ups in whisky right now. Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman has taken the brand's classic Speyside character and pushed it further, marrying five different cask types into one bottle. It's a whisky built the same way an F1 car is built: every part doing a job, nothing there by accident.

Distillery Information

Glenfiddich is one of Speyside's best-known names, still family-owned and run by William Grant & Sons. This release is year two of a five-year partnership with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, first announced in late 2024. Malt Master Brian Kinsman worked alongside the team to bring the same attention to detail from the pit lane into the cask.

Who this bottle is for
  • Scotch drinkers keen to try something outside the usual sherry cask releases
  • Glenfiddich fans wanting to explore an older, more complex expression
  • F1 and Aston Martin fans after a genuine crossover rather than a branding exercise
  • Anyone who likes a whisky that comes with a decent story behind it
How to enjoy

  • Best enjoyed neat to get the full run of all five casks
  • A splash of water opens up the fruit and toffee sweetness
  • A solid pour for race day with mates

Why we curate it

Glenfiddich and Aston Martin have built something a bit different here. Five casks, sixteen years and a genuine partnership behind it, not just a logo slapped on a label. It's a whisky that rewards a bit of attention, and it's easy to see why they're already onto release number two.
