Introducing the Shannon fountain pen, named after Ireland's grandest river. This exquisite writing instrument will surely captivate any fountain pen enthusiast. Just like a flowing river of ink, it effortlessly translates one's thoughts and creativity onto paper.

The Shannon fountain pen is an exceptional writing instrument. Its unique design and attention to detail using the finest quality wood make it a remarkable gift that will undoubtedly impress anyone who sees it in use. This fountain pen demands attention, whether resting on a writing desk, nestled in a notebook, or sitting on a meeting or board room table. The recipient of this gift will remember it for years to come, every time they hold the fountain pen and watch its ink flow.

Crafted from a retired Irish Whiskey oak barrel at Midleton Co., Cork's renowned distillery, this pen boasts a beautiful reddish hue sourced from the distilled spirits. As it's turned on the lathe, the wood releases a delightful whiskey aroma that's sure to please any connoisseur. It's the perfect gift for those experienced in the art of Irish whiskey.

The Shannon fountain pen is fitted with a German-manufactured bi-colour size six nib; this ensures a smooth writing experience even for the fussiest of fountain pen users.

The fountain pen ink flows from an international standard-sized ink cartridge, readily available from all stationery shops worldwide. Available on this site also.

We also provide an ink pump with the pen; this pump allows bottled ink to be used in pen, fill the pump with your favourite bottled ink and insert it into the pen and you're ready to write.

Sustainability is high on everyone's agenda; by using one of our handmade pens and only replacing the refill, you help the environment by not contributing to the BILLIONS of plastic biros that go to landfill every year.

Give one of our fountain pens with our ink pump; the only thing you don't use is the empty glass ink bottle that is recycled; how green is that?

We post our pens in our recyclable pen gift box wrapped in corrugated cards and placed in a biodegradable mailer bag; it's our way of greening what we do and minimising our environmental impact.

At a time when individuality is becoming increasingly rare, we can engrave the pen for you.

Your pen gift is presented in our deluxe gifting package

  • Luxurious pen gift box
  • Detail card on the wood used in the pen
  • Instruction card
  • Ink pump and ink cartridges so the pen can be used on the receipt
  • A personal note from Catherine and Richard Daly

Amazing Wedding Gift Idea

I bought this lovely pen as a wedding gifts for my new wife.

I had the date of our wedding engraved on it so she has no excuse about forgetting the date !!

It was made from Middleton Cork Whiskey Barrel , another personal touch as she is a Cork Gurl and likes the odd Whiskey.

Fantastic craftsmanship, extremely well presented and environmentally sound.

Just Perfect.

Engraving your wedding date on it was indeed a thoughtful touch, ensuring it's always close at hand. We're delighted that the use of Middleton Cork Whiskey Barrel added that extra personal connection, perfectly tailored to your wife's background and tastes. Richard

My bf LOVES his graduation present!
He’s always wanted a fountain pen and this shop has the most beautiful and cost-effective ones $115, which is such a steal
The customer service was awesome - they sent me a test engraving on the wood I picked so I was assured everything would be perfect.
Timeliness? It was sent out the day after I order. :)
I don’t when I’ll need another nice pen, but now I am tempted to buy them for everyone I know just so I can support this site.

Hi Alice, it was great to share in your excitement around this gift, thanks for the feedback it is very welcome, Richard
