Two of the world’s most celebrated names in precision and performance have come together for the second year running, and the result is nothing short of extraordinary.
Glenfiddich and the Aston Martin Formula One Team have unveiled two limited-edition single malts that celebrate the most invisible and most essential quality shared by both worlds: the unseen craft that transforms dedication and patience into something truly beyond expectation.
The collaboration is rooted in a profound and beautifully articulated shared philosophy. Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman designs a whisky that will not be ready for years. Aston Martin Formula One Team Managing Technical Partner Adrian Newey shapes airflow around a car that does not yet exist. Different crafts, different materials, yet the same extraordinary mindset: an instinct for what lies ahead, and a discipline built entirely on precision, curiosity, and foresight.
Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Formula One Team 16-Year-Old Limited-Edition Release No.2 🥃
The 16-Year-Old single malt is built through a precise maturation across five distinct cask types: first-fill bourbon barrels, Port pipes, Oloroso sherry casks, wine casks, and a final touch of Fino sherry butts. Each cask adds its own character while remaining in complete, seamless balance, mirroring Adrian Newey’s philosophy of performance design, where every unseen element contributes to the extraordinary whole. Silken texture. Orchard fruit. Elegant oak. A refined and deeply assured single malt that flows beautifully from one layer to the next. Available at local liquor stores in select Canadian provinces this autumn.
Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Formula One Team 19-Year-Old Limited-Edition Release No.2 🥃
The 19-Year-Old, a Global Travel Retail exclusive, is built around a vibrant marriage of Colombian, European, and American oak cask finishes, creating a whisky of extraordinary diversity and balance. The Colombian oak in particular, as Canadian National Brand Ambassador Jamie Johnson beautifully describes, brings brightness and lift to the whisky’s rich, structured profile, creating a single malt with notes of sherbet, baked apple, and soft cinnamon. Vibrant, layered, and unmistakably Glenfiddich. Available exclusively in select Global Travel Retail locations.
“The character of a single malt is shaped by countless precise decisions over time — cask selection, balance, maturation, timing — each one subtle on its own, but transformative when brought together,” says Brian Kinsman. And in these two extraordinary releases, that transformation is felt in every single sip.
Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One Team. Two icons. One magnificent shared pursuit. And two whiskies that are absolutely, beautifully worth seeking out.
The Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Formula One Team 16-Year-Old is available at select Canadian liquor stores this autumn. The 19-Year-Old is available exclusively at select Global Travel Retail locations. Always enjoy Glenfiddich responsibly. Never drink and drive.
