Glenfarclas Pagoda Collection

When it comes to determining the collectibility of a whisky series, there are a few variables to consider and markers to look for: a well-known distillery name, limited supply, unique bottle/label designs, and a historically demonstrated increase in value for a complete set. The Glenfarclas Pagoda series collection checks all of these boxes and more. Glenfarclas is one of the most famous distilleries in Scotland and one of the few to remain independent to this day. The storied history of the distillery can be seen in the design of the bottle, which is inspired by the iconic “pagoda-like” kiln ventilation tower at the distillery that was initially developed by Charles Doig and became an integral part of distillery design across Scotland in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. In terms of unique packaging, this bottling goes far and beyond a simple custom label. Each Glencairn crystal decanter is hand-blown and topped with an iconic pagoda-shaped handcrafted magnetic closure that offers both aesthetics and utility. Adding to the grandeur of the decanter itself, each vessel features the use of silver, and the Ruby and Sapphire bottlings are decorated with real ruby and sapphire gemstones. With such attention to detail considered in the design of each decanter, limited quantities were inevitable. There were no more than 180 bottles (700 ml) of any single whisky in this series made, and only 100 bottles (700 ml) were produced of the Bronze, Silver, and Gold bottlings. Due to the reality of the limited quantities produced, the primary way for most collectors to acquire these unique bottles is to go directly through the distillery. However, through our exceptional network of partners, we obtained the complete collection and are able to offer it to our investors for 10%+ less* than the current available purchase price listed online. Finally, while limited supply and unique packaging are all benefits that add to this collection’s desirability, the star of this collection is the whisky itself. The “youngest” whisky in this set is 43 years old, with the oldest being a full 20 years older at 63 years spent in barrel. The casks for these bottlings were hand-selected by whisky expert and “Keeper of the Quaich” Stephen Notman and 6th generation Glenfarclas Distillery family member George Grant. Described as “quintessential and [the] very finest super-premium aged casks” by the distillery, the quality of whisky is unmatched by any previous Glenfarclas bottling and stands as a benchmark for the quality of whisky the distillery has produced since the 19th century. *At the time of collection launch
