Shannon Rollerball Pen – Handmade from Irish Whiskey Oak With Bright Chrome & Gold Trim
Our Shannon rollerball pen is named after the largest river in Ireland. Like a river of ink, it carries its user's thoughts and creativity from mind to paper with remarkable ease and grace.
Whether resting on a writing desk, nestled in a notebook, or taking pride of place in a boardroom, this pen’s design and the heritage-rich wood from which it's crafted make it a standout gift. The recipient will remember your thoughtfulness every time they pick up the pen and its ink begins to flow.
This pen is made from Irish Whiskey Oak sourced from a decommissioned barrel at the world-renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork. The oak carries a warm reddish hue, deepened by years of whiskey maturation. Turning the stave on the lathe releases the subtle aroma of Irish whiskey—an evocative link between craft and culture. This pen is ideal for the true Irish whiskey aficionado.

A Unique Writing Instrument
The pen pictured was handmade by us. Your pen will be crafted from the same Irish Whiskey Oak barrel wood, though no two pieces are ever alike. That is your assurance of a pen as unique as the person who holds it. Crafted from Irish Whiskey Oak barrel staves, sourced via our Cork supplier, direct from the distillery. No separate certificate of authenticity is issued. Each pen takes approximately three days to craft.
