Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition

Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition is a striking collaboration between two icons of craftsmanship, precision and performance. This limited-edition Speyside single malt celebrates the shared pursuit of instinctive mastery between Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman and the Aston Martin Formula One Team. Matured in a unique combination of American oak wine casks, virgin oak barrels and second-fill bourbon casks, it delivers a luxuriously sweet and silky profile wrapped in sleek, motorsport-inspired presentation.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Bright citrus zest and ripe orchard fruits accelerate from the glass, layered with polished oak and warm vanilla pod. The palate is smooth and precision-balanced, unfolding with creamy caramel, spiced marmalade and toasted almonds before evolving into notes of Chantilly cream and confectionery sweetness. A long, elegant finish leaves lingering baking spice, delicate aromatic smoke and velvety oak warmth.
