At Monterey Car Week in California in 2025, Aston Martin and Glenfiddich, the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky*, marked the expansion of their global partnership beyond the Aston Martin Formula One® Team, naming Glenfiddich as Aston Martin’s Official Whisky Partner. This next chapter reflects a natural alignment of purpose and ambition where pioneering spirit, craftsmanship and timeless design of both brands unite.
To commemorate the partnership, Glenfiddich unveiled an ultra-rare 1976 Single Malt, an exceptional vintage crafted as a timeless tribute to this milestone. With only fifty bottles available worldwide, Alberta, Canada, has been allocated one bottle, offering a private collector a rare opportunity to own the exclusive release within the Canadian market.
“Aston Martin and Glenfiddich share a commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and performance,” comments Jamie Johnson, Glenfiddich National Brand Ambassador. “The mid-1970’s were a defining period for both Glenfiddich and Aston Martin. The release of the 1976 vintage celebrates this alignment while staying true to Glenfiddich’s legacy.”
This extraordinary expression was chosen for the defining era that it represents for both Glenfiddich and Aston Martin. In the 1970’s, Glenfiddich made bold strides by adding its now-iconic stag’s head to its bottles and constructing a new still house—modernizations that have shaped the brand’s global legacy. At the same time, Aston Martin was redefining design and performance, introducing advanced concepts that would influence the marque for decades.
The rare 1976 vintage is aged for 48 years in a refill sherry cask and finished in a 100 litre European oak sherry cask, hand-selected by Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman. The rich liquid intrigues with red berry sweetnesscomplemented by crumbly butter pastry, gentle soft spice, and a subtle touch of sherbet. The palate reveals complex layers of dry oak tannin, sweet stewed fruits, and toasted wood. The finish lingers with a lasting impression of sweet oak spice.
The Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One® Team entered their first year of partnership in 2025, setting a new benchmark for creativity and collaboration within motorsport. Rooted in shared values of excellence and innovation, the partnership blends Glenfiddich’s whisky-making heritage with Aston Martin’s iconic presence in Formula One®, generating global excitement among those who value the journey as much as the destination. The two iconic British brands now extend their partnership beyond the Formula One® team, naming Glenfiddich as Aston Martin’s official whisky partner.
