Coachbuilt FW07 50 Year Old 1973 (1 Bottle 70cl)

Coachbuilt FW07 50 Year Old 1973

• A 50 Year Old blended Scotch whisky distilled in 1973 and aged fully in sherry casks, housed in a jaw-dropping sculpture forged entirely from the reclaimed metal of the legendary Williams Racing FW07 (1979) Formula 1 car.

• The blend is made up of predominantly Lowland whiskies, fully matured in sherry casks. It has spent the last 4 years resting in Oloroso casks before being bottled in August 2025 at 46.6% abv.

• Forged from the very metal of the race-winning 1979 Williams FW07 - the machine that conquered Monaco and Silverstone - the accompanying sculpture is a singular expression of heritage, craftsmanship and prestige.

• Individually sand-cast and sculpted by hand over hundreds of hours, acclaimed artist Mike O’Connor has applied traditional coachbuilding techniques to transform Formula One engineering into fine art. Its sweeping form captures the dramatic profile of the FW07’s high-downforce rear wing, a silhouette that defined a golden era of motorsport innovation.

• Resting on a solid black granite base, the piece is at once sculpture, artefact and tribute: to Atlassian Williams’ storied legacy, to the artistry of coachbuilding, and to the partnership with Coachbuilt Whisky.

• Will be accompanied by a leather-bound book that details the build and history of the lot.
