Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team Unveil Limited-Edition Single Malt: A Masterclass in Precision, Balance, and Forward Momentum
Inspired by Brian Kinsman and Adrian Newey's pursuit of unseen details, elevating craftsmanship to true excellence.
Bringing the ‘BEYOND’ concept to life, Glenfiddich recently hosted “Glenfiddich BEYOND: Glenfiddich x Aston Martin Formula One™ Team,” an exclusive night of celebration at Salone, Bangkok. Celebrities, connoisseurs, and brand partners were invited to immerse themselves in a world where luxury meets precision through the ‘BEYOND Identity Experience.’ Guests enjoyed signature cocktails crafted with the new Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old and got an up-close look at an Aston Martin performance car.
Marking the second anniversary of their dynamic partnership, Glenfiddich and the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team have unveiled the Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Formula One™ Team 16-Year-Old Limited-Edition Release No. 2. The release draws profound inspiration from Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman and Aston Martin Formula One™ Team Managing Technical Partner Adrian Newey. Together, they share a unifying philosophy: “Excellence is not just about what is visible; it is born from the meticulous interplay of tiny, hidden details working together to create extraordinary results.”
While Brian Kinsman crafts whiskies that require years of patience to reach perfection, Adrian Newey engineers aerodynamic airflow for race cars yet to be built. Though they work with vastly different sciences, materials, and processes, their mindsets are identical: a shared vision for the future, fueled by precision, curiosity, and unparalleled foresight.
The Art of Balance: Matured in Five Distinct Casks
True to Glenfiddich’s iconic character, this 16-Year-Old limited edition is precisely matured across five different cask types: First-Fill Bourbon Barrels, Port Pipes, Oloroso Sherry Casks, Wine Casks, and Fino Sherry Butts. Meticulously crafted at every stage, it weds Glenfiddich’s signature velvety orchard fruit notes with the distinct characteristics of each cask. The result is a deep, harmonious, and highly complex liquid that perfectly balances sweetness, richness, and structure.
This mirrors Adrian Newey’s philosophy that every hidden component contributes to the whole. True mastery doesn’t lie in the individual parts alone, but in harmonizing them to achieve ultimate balance—a principle shared in both Glenfiddich’s whisky-making and Newey’s leadership at the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. Through the AMR Technology Campus, Advanced Air Tunnel, and world-class engineering capabilities, Newey pushes the boundaries of performance by seamlessly bringing together countless invisible details to create something truly exceptional on the track.
Whisky enthusiasts and racing fans alike can experience the synergy of the Glenfiddich x Aston Martin Formula One™ Team and discover the ‘Glenfiddich BEYOND’ experience at leading partner venues across Bangkok, including Homerun Izakaya (IG: @homerunizakaya), GOT (IG: @gotbangkok), What’s Happened (IG: @whatshappened.bkk), and Truth or Dare (IG: @truthordare.langsuan).
