The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old, 1 of 1 is the second release in a partnership between Chivas Brothers and Sotheby’s.

It will be offered solely through Sotheby’s Finest & Rarest Whisky auction, running from today until 20 November 2025, with proceeds supporting the National Trust for Scotland’s excavation work within the Cairngorms.

The whisky carries an estimate of £35,000–£70,000 — though the recent auction of The Glenlivet SPIRA 60 Year Old 1965 recently achieved a record selling price of £650,000.

Bottled at 42.7%, the whisky “offers notes of poached plums, sticky dates and luscious dark chocolate ganache on the nose, with a taste of fresh blackberries, ripe banana and cherry compote and a velvety sweet, complex finish with enduring notes of dark chocolate”, Chivas Brothers says.

Jacques-Henri Brive, global head of luxury development at Chivas Brothers, said: “Through our partnership with Sotheby’s, we are unlocking exclusive access to previously unseen rare Scotch from the archives of Chivas Brothers – broadening the horizons for luxury spirits collectors around the world.

“The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old, 1 of 1 reflects our legacy of creating the world’s finest high-aged Scotch, giving the most discerning collectors an opportunity to own their own slice of Scotch whisky heritage.”

Jonny Fowle, global head of spirits at Sotheby’s, said: “It’s a real honour to continue our partnership with Chivas Brothers, offering collectors exclusive access to some of the rarest Scotch whiskies in existence.

“Even as the auction market steadies for fine and rare whisky, demand for truly exceptional liquid remains unwavering – and Chivas Brothers is uniquely positioned to meet that appetite with whiskies that are defined by scarcity, provenance and artistry.

“With The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition 56 Year Old, 1 of 1, we are once again bringing an extraordinary expression of luxury Scotch to the global stage.”
