Cement Your Favourite Child Status And Gift Dad A Bottle Of Limited Edition Whisky This Father’s Day

Father’s Day gifting can be… fraught. There are only so many socks, golf balls and Bunnings vouchers you can buy before Dad starts wondering if you’re genuinely celebrating him or actually trying to troll him. This year, Glendiddich has made it easy to level up your gifting game with its fresh-to-market, limited-edition 16-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. 

I know, I know, gifting a bottle of booze might not be revolutionary, but let’s be clear, here: this is no bottom-shelf swill. Made in collaboration with none other than the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team, this drop is a celebration of precision, intuition and innovation—values the two iconic brands share, whether they're tuning engines or perfecting a cask.

To create it, Glenfiddich has married three cask types—American oak wine casks, brand-new American barrels and second-fill bourbon casks—to produce a dram with remarkable depth and balance. On the nose, you’ll catch subtle oak notes, caramelised ginger and a biscuitty cheesecake base, while the tasting notes read suspiciously like dessert: syrup, fresh fruit salad and Chantilly Cream. Fancy. 

It’s the bottle Dad’ll be reaching for when his footy team wins, when he’s got people to impress, or when those milestone moments deserve toasting with only the best. It’s sweet but not sickly, bold but not burning. Silky, smooth and sophisticated, just as you’d expect from the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch Whisky.

Then there’s the bottle. The classic Glenfiddich shape and stag has been turbo-charged with a teal label, neon-lime accents and Aston Martin’s iconic wings. And let’s be real—it’ll outlast the choccy and questionable novelty gifts your siblings panic-purchased on the way to Father’s Day lunch. 

Buy a bottle at First Choice, Liquorland, Vintage Cellars and independent retailers for $150 and make this Father’s Day one to remember. Dad gets a dram he’ll treasure, you’ll get the justified status of superior sibling.
