Glenfiddich 16 Aston Martin Formula 1 Release 2, 2026 edition

Created to celebrate the continuing partnership between Glenfiddich and the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team, the 2026 Glenfiddich 16 Year Old is the second limited-edition release in this high-profile collaboration. Crafted by Malt Master Brian Kinsman, this edition combines 16-year-old Glenfiddich matured across five distinct cask types, creating a richer and more layered expression while retaining the distillery’s signature Speyside fruit character.

The nose opens with ripe orchard fruit, sweet vanilla, polished oak and gentle baking spice. On the palate, layers of pear and soft fruit are joined by caramel, vanilla cream, toasted oak and warming spice, with the extended maturation providing greater depth and structure. The finish is smooth and lingering, balancing Glenfiddich’s characteristic fruitiness with sweet oak and subtle spice.

Presented in distinctive Aston Martin Formula One Team packaging, this is both a serious age-stated single malt and a highly collectible limited release. The combination of a 16-year age statement, special cask selection and Aston Martin F1 collaboration gives it appeal well beyond the standard Glenfiddich range.
