Shannon Fountain Pen – Handmade from Irish Whiskey Oak with Bright Chrome Trim

Our Shannon fountain pen is named after the largest river in Ireland—a fitting tribute to a pen that allows ideas to flow freely from heart to paper. Designed to impress even the most discerning connoisseur, this luxurious fountain pen becomes an extension of its user’s creative voice.

Whether resting on a writing desk, tucked into a journal, or making its presence known in a boardroom, the Shannon’s distinct design and the richness of the wood used in its making ensure it will be noticed and appreciated. The gift you give will be remembered every time this pen is held, and its ink flows onto the page.

The wood used in this pen comes from a decommissioned Irish whiskey oak barrel sourced from the world-renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork. Each stave is hand-turned in our workshop to reveal a beautiful reddish hue, stained by years of maturing fine whiskey. When the wood is turned on the lathe, it releases a subtle, smoky aroma—like holding a glass of Irish whiskey to your nose. This pen is more than a writing tool; it’s a tribute to the legacy of Irish whiskey craftsmanship.

Fitted with a German-made bi-colour size 6 nib, the Shannon delivers a smooth and fluid writing experience that meets the standards of even the most experienced fountain pen users.
