Bunnahabhain 2016 Whisky Barrel Glass Holder

From Islay's Quietest Distillery. 2016. Cask #19.

On the northeast coast of Islay, where the sea is calmer and the smoke softer, sits Bunnahabhain — the island's gentle giant. Less peated than its neighbours, deeply loved by those who know, and quietly revered by whisky enthusiasts the world over. In 2016, this oak was filled with Bunnahabhain spirit and laid down to rest by the sea. When the cask was finally emptied, we brought a single stave home to our wee workshop on the Highlands and Lowlands border — and reimagined it entirely.

The result is this Bunnahabhain Whisky Glass Holder — a functional piece of art that cradles your dram in a nest of Harris Tweed, beside a metal plate forged from the cask's own iron hoop. Every element of it, from the oak to the inscription, came from the same barrel.

A Rare Collectable — Only 8 Ever Made

This isn't a production line. It isn't an endless run. Only eight Bunnahabhain Whisky Glass Holders were crafted from cask #19. Each one is numbered, hand-finished, and traceable to the same Islay barrel. When they're gone, they're gone — and we cannot source another identical cask.

Every Detail Tells the Story

The Bunnahabhain Whisky Glass Holder isn't assembled from parts. It's a complete story carved, forged, and stitched from a single cask:

• Reclaimed Oak Stave — The body is the original barrel stave, sanded smooth but keeping its char and grain

• Harris Tweed Nest — A soft, tactile cradle lining the glass well, protecting your Glencairn

• Forged Hoop Plate — The metal inscription plate is hammered from the cask's own iron hoop

• Engraved Inscription — Cask number, vintage year, and distillery name permanently engraved

Why Collectors Love It

The Gift for the Whisky Connoisseur

This is the gift that makes other whisky gifts look ordinary. For the collector who already has the bottles, the glasses, and the decanter — this is the piece that becomes the centrepiece of the bar. A wedding gift for the whisky-loving couple. A retirement present with real weight. A Father's Day gift that tells a genuine story.
