Glenfiddich, the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky, unveils two new limited-edition expressions, the Glenfiddich 16 Year Old and 19 Year Old, in celebration of the iconic partnership between Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. The limited-edition expressions honour the multi-year collaboration, blending the heritage, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence of the two iconic luxury brands. The limited-edition 16 Year Old and 19 Year Old expressions launch in Canada this autumn season.
Formed through a marriage of American oak wine casks, new American barrels and second-fill bourbon casks, the Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old shares a sweetness of its own. Bottled in Glenfiddich’s signature bottle adorned with a collaborative labelling in line with Glenfiddich’s partnership with Aston Martin Formula One™ Team, the whisky delivers rich notes of maple syrup and caramelized ginger. These rich flavours give way to a silky palate of fresh fruit salad and Chantilly cream. The finish, however, speaks for itself. Smooth yet bold, it holds a quality that escapes the ability to be measured.
“The Glenfiddich 16 Year Old is a whisky that speaks to the heart of Glenfiddich. Smooth, bold and timeless,” comments Jamie Johnson, Canadian National Brand Ambassador for Glenfiddich. “With this expression, we wanted to capture the craftsmanship of Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team, creating something that feels both refined and expressive. This expression delivers a complexity that’s engineered yet effortless.”
Exclusive to Global Travel Retail, Glenfiddich 19 Year Old is also launching this autumn. The aged single malt is matured in hand-selected American and European oak casks delivering a vibrant whisky that is complex yet refined. Crafted exclusively from a marriage of American and European oak, with an unmistakable sweet spice from Montilla wine casks, and notes of Seville oranges and warm, woody spices, this whisky pushed the boundaries of complexity and refinement.
“At Glenfiddich, we’ve always strived to create exceptional whiskies that stand the test of time,” comments Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master. “The Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old and 19-Year-Old are no exception. They are a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship, accuracy, and passion. Each bottle tells a story of innovation yet is rooted in the tradition of excellence that we’ve upheld since 1887. We’re proud to be part of a partnership with Aston Martin Formula One™ Team that celebrates the perfect balance of precision and intuition. Whisky or Formula One, innovation fuels the journey, but instinct defines the experience.”
At Glenfiddich no whisky leaves the distillery without first passing the nose of Malt Master Brian Kinsman, continuing a 137-year tradition to uphold the quality of excellence set in 1887. Similarly, for Aston Martin Formula One™ Team performance isn’t just defined by numbers, but by the finely tuned balance between craft and human instinct – a feeling that no data can replicate. As the partnership continues to demonstrate, the perfect balance lies in the interplay between skill and intuition.
“In this next chapter, Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team come together to honour the first year of our partnership with limited-edition 16 and 19-Year-Old bottlings,” comments Jefferson Slack, Managing Director at Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. “A true symbol of craftmanship and performance, the exclusive product further cements the coming together of our two iconic brands.”
Glenfiddich and the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team’s exclusive multi-year global partnership was unveiled in November 2024 at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, setting a new standard for craftsmanship and creativity while inviting enthusiasts worldwide to engage with the two iconic brands in bold new ways. The partnership is rooted in shared values of excellence and innovation, blending Glenfiddich’s whisky-making heritage with Aston Martin’s iconic presence in motorsport, generating global excitement for those who value the journey as much as the destination. Together, Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team aim to create a legacy transcending industries, driving a new standard of precision, luxury and performance on and off the track.
