I’ll admit, I’ve never sat through an entire Formula One™ race—but there’s no denying how iconic the sport is. Glenfiddich has teamed up with the Aston Martin Formula One team to craft this special 16-Year expression. Time to buckle up and find out if this bottle takes the checkered flag.

Let’s get straight to the point—this whisky tastes good. And the price? Even better, because it’s affordable. It’s an easy sipper with fruity notes and a touch of sweetness. Now, here’s where my personal expectation comes in: when you pair Glenfiddich with Aston Martin, I imagine complexity, bold character, and something truly elevated. This expression didn’t quite deliver that for me—but that’s on my expectations, not the whisky. If you approach this bottle looking for simplicity, approachability, and great value, you’ll absolutely enjoy it. At the end of the day, it’s a good whisky at a fair price—and sometimes, that’s all that matters.

Cheers!
