With the festive season in full swing, you may be looking for inspiration. How to choose a gift for that special someone – the man or woman who has (almost) everything? Clearly, this is not the time for clichéd ideas or run-of-the-mill presents. In that spirit, we present the Aston Martin selection, a curated list of the special, the exquisite and the rare to delight those you care about most.

And if any of these suggestions evoke an envious thought that you’d prefer to be the recipient, not the giver? We’ll leave it to you to drop an artful hint or two.

BOWMORE MASTERS SELECTION FINALE

For over 240 years, Bowmore Distillery has been capturing the essence of Islay from the shores of its remote island home. More recently, its collaboration with Aston Martin has yielded some truly remarkable whiskies: the Masters’ Selection. The fourth and final whisky in the series, Masters’ Selection Edition 4, was released in June 2024. A 21-year-old whisky, matured in carefully selected Tawny Port American oak casks and Oloroso Sherry butts in the sepulchral calm of the legendary Bowmore No.1 Vaults, it exhibits notes of roasted chestnuts, grilled Seville orange zest and dry thyme. For the whisky lover in your life, this will be a gift long remembered – and savoured.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX LAUREATO GREEN CERAMIC ASTON MARTIN EDITION

The colour green has long been associated with Aston Martin and its many successes at the highest echelons of motorsport. Now prestigious Swiss manufacturer Girrard-Perregaux, official watch partner to Aston Martin, has honoured the association with a special edition of its celebrated Laureato design with a green ceramic case and bracelet. The watch dial features a crosshatch design, a diamond-like pattern found on Aston Martin’s original ‘AM’ logo from 1921-1926, while the skeletonised ‘baton’ type hour and minute hands are both light and functional. The Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition is offered in a choice of two case sizes – 42mm and 38mm – and limited to just 388 and 188 examples.

BOSS X ASTON MARTIN COLLECTION

When he’s not in his work environment – the cockpit of the AMR24 F1 car – two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso exudes an air of effortless cool. Little wonder that BOSS chose him as the ambassador for their first collaboration with Aston Martin, the BOSS X Aston Martin capsule collection. It’s full of delightful details, with elements such as zip pullers, cord ends, and snap buttons inspired by the interior finishes of Aston Martin’s lineup. The collection features luxurious, high-performance fabrics, including superfine merino-wool jersey and a durable carbon-fibre and cotton denim blend. The leather jacket, too, is a standout piece from this 24/7 lifestyle wardrobe.

SUPERCHARGED

For anyone who loves Aston Martin cars – whether owner or enthusiast – the chance to explore their full performance on track makes the perfect gift. Supercharged curated events combine on-track exhilaration with the generous hospitality you’d expect of Aston Martin during a two-day programme that’s designed to boost confidence and hone driving skills. The events are limited to a select few, so each guest has ample one-to-one instruction from their expert driving team. The first day begins at Millbrook Proving Ground, where participants can explore the cars’ limits on the handling track, mile straight, bowl and alpine course. Overnight accommodation at Silverstone includes a hosted dinner, where Aston Martin ambassadors will provide unique insights into the company, its racing heritage and its future. Day two ramps up the excitement with track sessions on the Stowe circuit, where our expert instructors will encourage each driver to exploit the balance, power and braking of Aston Martin cars to the full.

After lunch, the event ends with a fascinating tour of the Gaydon factory, where guests meet the men and women who make Aston Martin cars and witness the exceptional craft skills that go into each model. Supercharged experiences can be purchased for individuals, couples and exclusive group buyouts.
