Aston Martin and Glenfiddich have presented Glenfiddich 28 Years Old, a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky born from two British brands united in what they describe as a relentless pursuit of excellence.
The 28 Years Old is crafted through a carefully considered marriage of American and European oak, with a distinctive influence of virgin American oak. At its heart is whisky matured in American oak before a secondary maturation in virgin oak, bringing deep spice and vanilla sweetness. This is layered with spirit from European oak Oloroso sherry-seasoned hogsheads, adding texture, depth and a rich sherried character, while traditional ex-bourbon casks bring Glenfiddich’s signature vibrant orchard fruit notes to the final marriage. It is bottled at 43.7% ABV.
The packaging was developed in collaboration with Aston Martin’s design team. Flowing forms appear to move seamlessly across the surface of the box, creating a sense of depth and momentum, while Podium Green, bold copper finishes and Glenfiddich’s iconic stag unite the two brands across the limited-edition pack.
“For Glenfiddich 28 Years Old, I wanted to bring Glenfiddich and Aston Martin’s philosophy of perpetual motion to life. Working with highly active casks gave me the opportunity to explore how different layers of oak influence could come together, while preserving the vibrant fruit notes synonymous with Glenfiddich,” said Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master. “Drawing on my understanding of Aston Martin’s character and design ethos, the result is a single malt that reflects our shared pursuit of refinement, while remaining unmistakably rooted in Glenfiddich’s 139-year legacy of whisky making and the expertise passed down through generations of Malt Masters.”
“This special edition celebrates the values that unite Aston Martin and Glenfiddich: craftsmanship, creativity and continual refinement. The result is a beautifully crafted collector’s piece that reflects the heritage, ambition and enduring character of both brands,” added Stefano Saporetti, Director of Brand Diversification for Aston Martin.
The Glenfiddich 28 Years Old goes on sale from January 2027, available in the United States and across leading global airport travel retail outlets.
Aston Martin and Glenfiddich advocate responsible drinking and that no one should drink and drive.
