Glenfiddich × Aston Martin?! Fresh Fruit Salad with Chantilly Cream!!

2026.10.05

In short: Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Aston Martin F1 Limited — a collaboration with the Aston Martin Formula One® Team, matured in three kinds of American oak (wine casks, virgin oak and second-fill bourbon). Official notes: cheesecake base, maple, fresh fruit salad and Chantilly cream. From Bar Little Happiness, Hiroshima.

An unexpected collaboration!!

A limited bottle in which the world-loved single malt “Glenfiddich” teams up with the pinnacle of motorsport, the “Aston Martin Formula One® Team.”

When you hear “F1,” you might imagine something hard — the smell of oil, rugged engine noise. But this collaboration bottle is, in truth… surprisingly “luscious.”

The secret of its taste: a “miraculous sweetness” from three kinds of American oak

This “Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Aston Martin F1 Limited” is a gem designed by the malt master with the precision of an F1 car.

The key to its flavour is three kinds of American oak casks, used lavishly.

1. American oak wine casks:
2. New American oak casks (virgin oak):
3. Second-fill bourbon casks:

Combining these in a complex yet perfectly balanced way creates a layered, dessert-like character different from the classic 12 or 15 Year Old.

A true “drinkable dessert”! Surprising tasting notes

Just reading the official tasting notes makes you feel as if you’re in a stylish patisserie.

[NOSE]

Rich and luscious. A biscuit-base cheesecake, maple syrup and caramelised ginger, with perfectly toasted oak.

[TASTE]

Sweet like a luxurious confection, with a silky, syrupy mouthfeel. Fresh fruit salad and Chantilly cream.

[FINISH]

Exceptionally smooth, with a pleasant sweetness that lasts a long time.

There aren’t many whiskies described with the words “Chantilly cream” (whipped cream).

One sip, and silky smoothness and juicy fruit fill your mouth.
