Glenfiddich Aston Martin Formula One Limited Edition 16 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Glenfiddich Aston Martin Formula One Limited Edition 16 Year Old Scotch Whisky is a 43% ABV (86 proof), 750mL 16-year-old Speyside single malt — the first co-branded release from Glenfiddich's multi-year partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One Team, matured entirely in American oak and presented in a striking teal F1 livery tube — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
When Glenfiddich and the Aston Martin Formula One Team announced their long-term partnership in November 2024 — revealed during the Las Vegas Grand Prix — the whisky world knew a special bottle was coming. This 16-year-old is that bottle: the inaugural co-branded release, built by Master Blender Brian Kinsman around precision and performance. The recipe is an all-American-oak maturation — a marriage of American oak wine casks, brand-new American oak barrels, and twice-filled bourbon casks — which gives the whisky its rich, sweet, almost confectionary character without ever leaving the Glenfiddich house style: fruit-led, elegant, and layered. Sixteen years of American oak depth, a livery-inspired presentation, and a partnership built on craft at speed — it is equal parts collector's piece and drinker's bottle.
Tasting notes (official notes and trade consensus): nose of biscuity cheesecake, maple syrup, and caramelized ginger over subtle toasted oak; a silky, syrupy palate of fresh fruit salad, whipped cream, and vanilla; an exceptionally mild finish with lingering sweetness.
Why buy: The first-ever Glenfiddich × Aston Martin F1 bottle — the launch release of a multi-year partnership, and one that will not be repeated in this exact recipe. Equal appeal for Formula One fans, Scotch collectors, and gift buyers. Explore more Glenfiddich and browse more Scotch whisky and whiskey at Del Mesa Liquor.
