Heritage
Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition (750 ml) is a striking collaboration between two icons of craftsmanship and innovation — Glenfiddich and Aston Martin. This collector’s release reimagines the distinguished 16-year-old single malt through the lens of performance, precision, and design excellence.
Distilled and matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, the whisky embodies Glenfiddich’s signature Speyside character — layered, complex, and impeccably smooth. Presented in a sleek, motorsport-inspired limited-edition package, it celebrates the shared values of mastery, heritage, and forward-thinking creativity that unite the two legendary brands. A refined collector’s piece, it’s as elegant on the palate as it is in presentation.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes Elegant, orchard-fruit–driven Speyside with Glenfiddich’s signature pear and baked apple at the core, layered with honeycomb, vanilla cream, and lemon oil. Mid-palate turns richer—almond nougat, toffee, and golden sultanas over malt biscuits—then a gentle lift of ginger, clove, and toasted oak. Silky texture carries into a long, poised finish of citrus zest, warm pastry, and a clean, mineral snap.
Food Pairings Superb with seared scallops in brown-butter lemon, gravlax or smoked salmon on buttered rye, roast chicken with thyme, or pork tenderloin with apple pan jus. Creamy mushroom risotto and butter-rich mashed potatoes echo the malt sweetness, while semi-hard cheeses (Comté, aged Gruyère, clothbound cheddar) tighten the honeyed fruit. For dessert, try lemon tart, almond frangipane, or apple crumble; high-cacao milk chocolate is a quietly perfect match beside the glass.
Craftsmanship
Glenfiddich is one of the world’s most iconic Scotch whisky houses, deeply associated with Speyside and long credited with pioneering the single malt category. Since its founding in 1887 by William Grant, the brand has combined tradition with boldness — investing in its own malting floors, floor maltings, and full vertical integration long before many others.
At its core, Glenfiddich emphasizes consistency, innovation, and maintaining a close relationship to its home in Dufftown. While they produce classic core expressions, the distillery is also unafraid to experiment — collaborating with partners like Aston Martin around motorsport, exploring novel cask finishes, and offering limited editions that push boundaries.
Yet even in those ventures, Glenfiddich remains grounded: each release, no matter how audacious in presentation, carries the hallmarks of their style — clarity, balance, and a seamless interplay between fruit, oak, and barley. Over time, the brand has built a reputation not just for quality, but for daring enough to evolve while staying unmistakably “Glenfiddich.”
