Irish Whiskey Oak Barrel Pen – Handmade in Ireland
Honor creativity and heritage with a truly unique gift — a hand-turned ballpoint pen crafted from an authentic Irish whiskey barrel. Made from aged oak once used at the world-renowned Midleton Distillery in Co. Cork, this pen offers a rich connection to Ireland’s famed whiskey tradition.
Each pen is fashioned from a reclaimed whiskey barrel stave, transformed on the lathe in our Kells workshop. The friction of the turning process gently releases the aroma of Irish whiskey, a sensory reminder of its origin. With its distinctive reddish tone — a gift from the whiskey it once held — this pen is a perfect keepsake for any whiskey enthusiast or collector of Irish heritage gifts.

The Perfect Irish Gift for Whiskey Lovers
This pen makes a thoughtful and unique gift for birthdays, retirements, corporate events, or collectors of fine Irish craftsmanship. Personal engraving is available to make your gift even more special.
Each pen takes approximately three days to create and is truly one-of-a-kind — no two whiskey barrels, and thus no two pens, are alike.
Sustainable by Design
By using a refillable writing instrument made from reclaimed materials, you're supporting a more sustainable future — helping reduce the billions of disposable pens sent to landfill each year.
A Complete Luxury Gift Experience
Each pen is housed in a satin-lined luxury case and sheathed in a plush black velvet pouch, offering a refined unboxing experience worthy of its heritage. This saves you the cost of gift wrapping!
Accompanying each pen is a detailed fact sheet, accessible via a discreet QR link on a card included with the pen. The fact sheet offers insights into the pen’s craftsmanship, the story of the Irish Whiskey Oak, and care instructions, enriching the gifting experience for the recipient.
