Culture Shift
The release follows the 65-year-old Scotch that honored Aston Martin's 1959 Le Mans victory, continuing a pattern of motorsport-linked whisky releases tied to racing heritage. The partnership's shared brand philosophy of perpetual motion frames the spirit as a tie-in to Formula 1's pace-driven culture.
U.S. buyers can purchase the 28 Year Old at select retailers beginning in January for a suggested retail price of $899 per bottle. The expression is positioned as a limited edition, so availability is likely to be constrained at the shelf level.
