Glenlivet 1997 Whisky Barrel Pendant Light

A three-bulb pendant made from a stave of Glenlivet cask 4083, filled in 1997. The distillery name, year and cask number are burned into the oak, and I finish the stave by hand in my workshop near Loch Lomond.

The cask behind the light

The Glenlivet distillery stands in the valley of the same name in Speyside, and it was one of the first in the region to take out a licence in the 1820s. This stave held whisky in cask 4083, filled in 1997. The year is when the cask was filled, not a statement of how old any whisky was.

Where this light belongs

Over a long dining table or a kitchen island, the three bulbs spread the light evenly. The warm oak goes well with cream walls, linen and natural stone in a cottage-style room.

Before you order

No two staves are the same. Yours may be a little wider or narrower than the one in the photos, and lighter or darker, depending on the cask and the grain. It's reclaimed oak, not a factory product.

Choose the bulb holder finish when you order: brass/bronze, copper, black or silver. For any other finish, email info@barrelcraftstudio.co.uk before ordering.

Please arrange installation with a qualified electrician. If you need a different chain or cable length, email info@barrelcraftstudio.co.uk before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Which bulbs work best?

The holders take E27 bulbs, and Edison-style filament bulbs suit the oak and the open holders best. LED filament versions give the same warm look and run cooler.

Is it a good gift for someone who drinks Glenlivet?

It's made from one of their casks, with the details burned into the wood, so it's a lasting reminder of the whisky rather than a novelty.
