Premium Scotch whisky maker Glenfiddich, known for its smooth whiskies, has launched its second, limited-edition collaboration with the Aston Martin Formula One Team. Named Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team 16-Year-Old Release No. 2, the new expression has been created by Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman. The new limited-edition release will highlight shared values of precision, craftsmanship, and innovation.
Glenfiddich has launched the second release in its hyped limited-edition collaboration with the Aston Martin Formula One Team. The much talked about collaboration will reinforce its multi-year partnership, with the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team 16-Year-Old Release No. 2 being the latest launch.
Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman worked with Aston Martin Formula One Team Managing Technical Partner Adrian Newey to launch Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team 16-Year-Old Release No. 2. The new launch celebrates the meticulous engineering behind Formula One and the artistry behind Glenfiddich’s whisky-making.
Unlike the inaugural release, the latest expression introduces a more complex maturation process. It draws whisky from five different cask types, including first-fill bourbon barrels, Port pipes, Oloroso sherry casks, wine casks, and Fino sherry butts, a first of its kind.
The result? A richer, more layered single malt that offers aromas of stewed fruits, floral notes, and marzipan, along with flavors of buttery toffee, oak spice, and a lingering dry finish.
The Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team 16-Year-Old Release No. 2 is bottled at 43 per cent ABV and will be available in selected global markets from August 2026. The first release was met with global success, and so the second release is aimed at continuing that streak of success. It will bridge the worlds of luxury whisky and elite motorsport through an exclusive launch and immersive fan experiences. The whisky is available to purchase from UK retailers including Selfridges and Master of Malt for £75 (US$101), which roughly equates to INR 22,479.
Along with the launch of the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team 16-Year-Old Release No. 2, the collaboration has also revealed the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin Formula One Team 19-Year-Old Limited-Edition Release No.2.
This Global Travel Retail exclusive is built around a vibrant marriage of Colombian, European and American oak cask finishes, creating a layered whisky defined by diversity and balance. The travel retail exclusive is inspired by Adrian Newey's philosophy of airflow design resulting in a whisky crafted to reveal how invisible details can shape exceptional character.
This expression has been matured initially in traditional whisky casks, then divided across three oak types from three continents before being brought back together.
In 2024, the brand unveiled a 65-year-old single malt at Harrods, the luxury department store chain. In 2025, the Glenfiddich X Aston Martin Formula One Collaboration released a 16-year-old limited edition single malt and a 19-year-old expression. While the 16-year-old and 19-year-old expressions both have an ABV of 43 per cent, the latter is a travel retail exclusive.
Glenfiddich, one of the world’s leading liquor manufacturers, announced their partnership with British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin in 2024.
The collaboration between two global powerhouses celebrates the meticulous engineering of the Aston Martin Formula One Team and the luxury whisky-making expertise of Glenfiddich Whisky.
In 2025, the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team collaboration released two premium Glenfiddich expressions. Now in 2026, the hyped global collaboration has launched the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin F1 Team 16-Year-Old Release No. 2. It will be available in selected global retail markets starting August 2026 and will retail in the UK for about £75, which roughly equates to INR 22,479.
