Glenfiddich and Aston Martin F1 Launch Limited Edition Single Malt Whisky to Mark Collaboration Milestone
Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One Team have collaborated to launch a limited edition single malt Scotch whisky, celebrating their long-term partnership. This 16-year-old expression is a blend of spirits matured in American oak wine casks, brand new American oak casks, and twice-filled bourbon casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, the official tasting notes describe its aroma as having hints of maple syrup and caramelized ginger, with a palate that presents fresh fruit salad and sweet cream flavors.
This limited release is the first co-branded product since the two brands announced their exclusive long-term partnership in November 2024, a relationship that was officially revealed during the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Glenfiddich Global Brand Director Claudia Falcone stated that this whisky marks an exciting moment in the collaborative journey with the Aston Martin F1 team, aiming to connect enthusiasts worldwide through innovation. Glenfiddich Master Blender Brian Kinsman emphasized that this whisky embodies a combination of craftsmanship and precision, merging tradition with an innovative spirit, much like the partnership itself.
Both brands are deeply rooted in their respective fields. Glenfiddich, established in 1887 in Dufftown, Scotland, claims to be the most awarded Scottish whisky since 2000. Aston Martin has been involved in motorsport since 1913 and first participated in a Grand Prix in 1922. Aston Martin F1 Team Managing Director Jefferson Slack called this co-branded whisky a symbol of craftsmanship and performance, solidifying the relationship between the two brands.
Beyond product collaboration, both companies emphasize pursuing innovation while respecting tradition. This 16-year-old whisky will be released globally in limited quantities in September 2025, marking the beginning of the partnership. The Aston Martin F1 team returned to Formula One in 2021, and its AMR Technology Campus in Silverstone features an advanced wind tunnel facility set to be operational in 2025, showcasing the brand's technical capabilities.
