The Glenfiddich 16 Year Old Aston Martin Edition Release No 2 was matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon Barrels, ex-Port Pipes, ex-Oloroso Sherry casks, and wine casks before being finished in ex-Fino Sherry Butts. The result has been bottled at 43% ABV.
Luckily, this bottle was not designed by Adrian Newey, so it should be less prone to breaking down before you cross the finish line.
Producer Description
"Bringing together Glenfiddich's signature fruit-led style with the influence of first-fill bourbon barrels, Port pipes, Oloroso sherry casks, wine casks and a final touch of Fino sherry butts, the whisky unfolds with controlled progression and complexity. Sweetness, richness and structure are carefully layered, allowing each cask to add its own character while remaining in complete balance. The result is a refined and assured single malt, where silken texture, orchard fruit, and elegant oak flow together in perfect harmony."
