The Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Aston Martin Formula One Team Release No. 2 is a remarkable limited-edition Speyside single malt created for the second year of Glenfiddich's partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One Team.
Released in 2026 as a Global Travel Retail Exclusive, this 19-year-old expression explores the shared pursuit of precision found in both whisky making and Formula One engineering. Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman and Aston Martin Formula One Team Managing Technical Partner Adrian Newey may work in entirely different worlds, but both understand that extraordinary results are often created by details hidden beneath the surface.
That philosophy is beautifully expressed through the maturation of this whisky. After initially maturing in traditional whisky casks, the spirit was divided and finished across three distinctive types of oak from three continents: Colombian, European and American oak. The individual components were subsequently brought back together, creating a beautifully layered and balanced final marriage.
The use of Colombian oak is particularly intriguing, bringing an unusual brightness and lift to the mature Glenfiddich character.
On the nose, vibrant vanilla is joined by crystallised ginger and traditional boiled sweets, followed by candied orange and lemon peel and warming oak spice. The palate has a lively sherbet-like zest and a wonderfully waxy, indulgent texture, developing into baked apple and soft cinnamon. A lingering, rich and beautifully sweet finish completes the experience.
Bottled at 43% ABV, the Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Aston Martin Formula One 2026 Release No. 2 combines age, innovative cask selection and one of motorsport's most recognisable names. Its Global Travel Retail Exclusive status and unusual three-continent oak maturation make it a particularly appealing release for Glenfiddich collectors and Formula One enthusiasts.
