A Fusion of Icons: Glenfiddich Unveils Limited-Edition 16-Year-Old Whisky to Celebrate the Brand's Partnership with Aston Martin Formula One Team
NEW YORK (August 18, 2025): Today, Glenfiddich, the World’s Most Awarded Scotch Whisky
1
,
unveils a bold new expression: a limited-edition 16-Year-Old single malt Scotch whisky,
celebrating its multi-year partnership with the Aston Martin Formula OneTM Team. This exclusive
release captures the high-performance spirit and refined craftsmanship both brands are known
for, striking a perfect balance between precision and intuition.
“This release marks an exciting milestone in our journey with the Aston Martin Formula OneTM
Team,” shared Claudia Falcone, Glenfiddich Global Brand Director. “Through this collaboration
we invite enthusiasts worldwide to engage with these iconic brands in bold new ways and
create memorable moments that reach far beyond the racetrack. This limited-edition bottling is
just the beginning as we continue to write the next chapter together.”
Crafted from a carefully selected marriage of American oak wine casks, new American barrels,
and second-fill bourbon casks, this expression showcases a meticulous blending process. The
result is a whisky that is rich in character with distinct notes of maple syrup and caramelized
ginger. Bottled at 43% Alc./Vol., the palate of fresh fruit salad and sweet cream builds to a finish
that is both smooth and bold, offering a quality that eludes precise measurement, much like the
intuitive connection between a driver and their car.
"At Glenfiddich, we’re committed to creating exceptional whiskies that honor tradition while
embracing innovation. The Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old is a true testament to this philosophy,”
commented Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master. “It combines craftsmanship and precision
in a whisky that invites exploration and discovery, much like the journey of our partnership with
the Aston Martin Formula OneTM Team. It’s a celebration of blending tradition with the thrill of
innovation."
The Speyside distillery announced an exclusive long-term partnership with Aston Martin
Formula OneTM Team in November 2024 – bringing together two timeless brands renowned for
their heritage, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence. The partnership launched at the
Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula OneTM Team toasted this
new collaboration which celebrates mastery and design.
“In this next chapter, Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula OneTM Team come together to honor
the first year of our partnership with a limited-edition 16-Year-Old bottling,” said Jefferson Slack,
Managing Director at Aston Martin Formula OneTM Team. “A true symbol of craftsmanship and
performance, the exclusive product further cements the coming together of our two iconic
brands.”
The Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky will begin hitting shelves globally in
September 2025, available for a limited time in retailers nationwide. (MSRP: $75.00).
