Introducing The Glenlivet Eternal Collection, Second Edition, 56 Year Old, 1 of 1, a rare and remarkable creation that reveals layers of depth and indulgence shaped over decades of patient maturation.
This second release in our landmark partnership with @sothebyswine represents the pinnacle of more than five decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and maturation expertise.
The elegant art sculpture was designed and crafted by Fredrikson Stallard @fredriksonstallard , a British-Swedish art and design practice based in London. Their sculptural display serves as a modern ode to both nature and legacy. The sculpture depicts the scorched, raw heather branches before their abundant regeneration; they rise from an ancient rock drawn from the Speyside land itself to symbolise strength, perseverance and authenticity.
This rare whisky is now on display at the Sotheby’s London Gallery, with bidding available solely through Sotheby’s Finest & Rarest Whisky auction until 20 November 2025.
All proceeds from the auction will support @nationaltrustforscotland ’s excavation work within the Cairngorms.
