Glenfiddich's Aston Martin F1 Single Malt Whisky Edition Is Here; 16-Year-Old Bottle Priced at Around ₹7,600

Fast cars and fine whisky have more in common than you'd think. Both are obsessed with precision, both reward patience, and both know that the smallest detail can make the biggest difference. It's exactly that shared philosophy that has brought together Glenfiddich and the Aston Martin Formula One Team for a second limited-edition release, and this year's bottle is more than just a fresh label on familiar liquid. Here is everything we know know about Glenfiddich's Aston Martin F1 Single Malt whisky, including price.

The new Glenfiddich x Aston Martin Formula One Team 16 Year Old – Release No. 2 arrives with a more complex cask recipe, a richer flavour profile and a price tag of around US$80 (approximately ₹7,600), making it one of the more accessible limited-edition collector's whiskies of the year.

More Than Just an F1 Collaboration

Motorsport partnerships often stop at clever packaging. Glenfiddich has taken a different route.

For Release No. 2, Malt Master Brian Kinsman has created a whisky matured in five different cask types; first-fill bourbon barrels, Port pipes, Oloroso sherry casks, red wine casks and, for the first time, Fino sherry butts. The result is a whisky that's noticeably deeper and more structured than last year's inaugural release, while still retaining Glenfiddich's unmistakable Speyside character.

Glenfiddich's Aston Martin F1 Single Malt Whisky: What Will Fill Your Glass?

Bottled at 43% ABV, the 16-year-old Glenfiddich's Aston Martin F1 single malt whisky opens with aromas of stewed fruits, subtle florals, marzipan and polished leather. On the palate, expect buttery toffee, dried fruit and warming oak before the Fino sherry influence brings a drier, more elegant finish. It's a whisky that rewards slow sipping, preferably after the chequered flag has fallen.

Why Collectors Will Covet The Glenfiddich's Aston Martin F1 Single Malt Whisky

Limited-edition whiskies usually fall into one of two camps: bottles you admire or bottles you actually open. This one comfortably sits in the middle. Produced as part of Glenfiddich's ongoing partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One Team, Release No. 2 isn't just designed for display, it offers a genuinely different whisky thanks to its five-cask maturation.

For Formula One fans, it's an easy addition to the shelf. For whisky collectors, it's another intriguing chapter in Glenfiddich's growing catalogue of experimental limited releases.

Not every collaboration deserves a second victory lap. Glenfiddich's Aston Martin F1 single malt whisky does. Rather than relying on racing-inspired branding alone, Glenfiddich has delivered a whisky that feels thoughtfully crafted from the inside out. It's richer than last year's release, still reasonably priced for a 16-year-old limited edition and, perhaps most importantly, interesting enough that you'll want to pour a dram, not just admire the bottle from across the room.
