The combined worlds of precision and innovation take centre stage with the all new limited edition bottle in Whisky House KL
Icons of their respective worlds join together in a landmark collaboration defined by precision and craftsmanship. Glenfiddich, widely recognised as one of the best in the world, renowned for its quality and history, has blended their skills with Aston Martin Formula One Team, the historic British automotive manufacturer competing in the highest class of worldwide racing.
In Malaysia, this pursuit of excellence is brought to life through Club 1959, a series of exclusive, immersive activations held throughout the city.
Within the partnership, it’s a convergence of legacies that culminates in a single bottle. With Glenfiddich, their mastery has been in the works for over a century. With the first drops of their golden liquid coming through their stills on Christmas Day 1887, they have been spending this time perfecting their craft, and maintaining its standard of excellence and its position as a key player in the industry.

William Grant, the founder of William Grant & Sons, one of the largest spirit distributors in the world, propelled the distillery to become the first Single Malt Scotch Whisky to be actively promoted outside of Scotland. Today, you can find this bottled history sold in over 180 countries throughout the world, whilst still remaining family-owned, just a small testament to the family’s enduring commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Mirroring the same dedication in spirit and consistency is the team of the Aston Martin Formula One Team. Meticulous engineering and ambition drives the team to be at the pinnacle of their field, and the same applies to Glenfiddich. Pushing the boundaries on and off the track, the brand is still deeply rooted in their history and honour the traditions that shaped them. Experience this synergy and sophistication between the two brands at Club 1959.

The meeting point for these two brands is a collector’s masterpiece, the Glenfiddich & Aston Martin Formula One Team 16-Year-Old Limited Edition. The tagline, “Timeless Apart, Iconic Together” summarises this partnership exquisitely. This single malt embodies the partnership, with a sleek, aerodynamic packaging inspired by the physics and engineering of a Formula One car, illuminating the liquid with precision and luxury at first glance. The whisky itself has been aged for 16 years, and offers a complex tasting experience, a flavour profile that only time and expertise can achieve.
The immersive experiences at Club 1959 transport guests into a world-class lifestyle. The atmosphere is charged with the confidence of champions, and the aroma of aged oak and rich malt wafts elegantly throughout. Guests are invited to not only taste this limited-edition malt, but also to experience the cutting edge technology of these pioneers in motorsport.

Present are the parallels between the two brands, whether it’s the patient wisdom of the Master Blenders of Glenfiddich and the Grant family, or the skill and knowledge of the engineers behind the cars, redefining what it means to be top of the class.
In Kuala Lumpur, the activation found its way in Whisky House where premium pairings accentuated the whisky, and guests were able to test their skills and check their lap times with a racing simulator.
