Glenfarclas
has released the next instalment in
their Pagoda Series and the oldest
release from the distillery to date, the
Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby Reserve 62 Year
Old.
 Glenfarclas has just released their
oldest whisky to date, Glenfarclas
Pagoda Ruby Reserve 62 Year Old which
was distilled in 1954 and bottled in
2017 although they are only now
releasing the whisky for sale as the
next instalment in the Pagoda Series. It is a
limited edition release which is rather
uniquely presented in a Glencairn
decanter featuring hand-mounted precious
rubies.
The Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby Reserve
which was matured in a single sherry
butt, Cask No. 445, and bottled at 44.8%
ABV joins the critically acclaimed
Pagoda Reserve Trilogy, that comprises
rare whiskies aged 43, 48 and
59 years old. A further addition to the
Pagoda Reserve Series will be released
later this year with the Pagoda Sapphire
Reserve 63 years old.
The Glenfarclas Ruby Reserve is
available in two editions:
- Limited Edition Silver, 180
bottles (700ml) and 62 magnums
available
- Collector’s Edition Gold, only
50 bottles (700ml) and 50 magnums
available.
Scottish family business, Glencairn
Crystal, specially created these luxury
decanters to contain the rare whiskies
for the Pagoda Reserve Series produced
from the highest quality hand blown 30%
lead crystal, renowned for its
ultra-clarity.
The Pagoda Ruby Reserve decanter is a
showcase of Glencairn's bespoke
craftsmanship, as their first decanter
ever to encase hand-mounted precious
gemstones. The front age statement
features 34 hand-picked and colour
matched rubies to construct the number
62, to highlight the significance of the
age of the whisky.

Distillery commented: "I take great
pleasure in releasing this extremely
rare 1954, single sherry butt cask 62
year old. The Glenfarclas Pagoda Ruby
