Your pen is called a

Sheelin Irish Whiskey oak ballpoint pen Titanium and Gold trim


writing pen handmade in Ireland in Irish woods by Irish Pens

The wooden body of your pen was hand-turned, the pen was assembled and posted all from our workshop in Ireland's heritage capital of Kells County Meath by Catherine & Richard Daly. 

  • The wood in your pen:

The wood in this pen comes from an Irish Whiskey oak barrel decommissioned from the world-famous distillery in Midleton Co. Cork, where they make the Jameson and Middleton Irish whiskey brands.  
The colour of the oak has a lovely reddish hue to it, which comes from the years the whiskey and the oak barrel have interacted to produce the flavours and colours that make this Irish whiskey world famous. Now, you can hold that history in your hands every time you use your pen.

  • The trim of your pen:
The trim is Black titanium and gold which complement the beautiful hew of the Irisg whiskey oak.
  • The refill in your pen:

Your pen is a ballpoint pen using a Parker-type ballpoint refill. With its oil-based ink, the refill delivers an excellent, easy writing experience. The advantage of the ballpoint is the virties of surfaces it will write on, its quick to dry and not pron to smudging. This refill is widely available in all good stationery stores and on our website. Click this link to order the refill for this pen.

  • How to change the refill

 

At Irish Pens, we are delighted to pay homage to the woods at the heart of our handmade pen by sponsoring the planting of Native Irish Trees in the forest of Avoca, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, through the Tree Council of Irelands tree sponsorship scheme. A proportion of the sale of your pen has made this possible.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is now.

 

 The pen case:

We supply your pen in a stylish black pen case that will protect your pen and ensure it is always at hand for use. We moved away from single-use pen boxes because putting a pen box in the bin is not part of our philosophy to reduce waste wherever possible. 

We post our pen in a Jiffy Green padded mailer with no bubble wrap, and the bag that holds the pen and the information card is fully recyclable.

Over 4 Billion plastic pens and their packaging go to landfill in the USA alone every year so when the refill your is empty simply change it and keep using your pen. Its all the small things we do that help the environment.
