Single Whisky Glass Holder – Reclaimed Oak Barrel Dram Stand
£25.00
A single whisky glass holder cut from the oak of a retired Scotch whisky barrel. It's roughly 12–14 cm across and about 3 cm high, with a 60 mm hole lined with Scottish tartan. It takes a stemmed nosing glass, a copita or a small wine glass. The glass isn't included.
How it's made
I cut each holder from a barrel stave or a piece of cask end. The wood gets cleaned and sanded by hand, but I leave the char and the old marks from the barrel, because that's what shows where it came from. After a few coats of Danish oil I fit a piece of Scottish tartan into the hole, so the glass sits on fabric rather than bare wood. Everything is done in my workshop near Loch Lomond.

About 12–14 cm across and 3 cm high
60 mm hole lined with Scottish tartan
Danish oil finish
Glass not included

Handmade in Scotland near Loch Lomond
Where do the barrels come from?
From retired Scotch whisky casks bought here in Scotland. Each one spent years maturing whisky before it came to my workshop.
Which glasses will fit?
Stemmed glasses with a foot up to about 60 mm across, such as nosing copitas or small wine glasses. A tumbler or a stemless Glencairn stands on its own base, so it doesn't need a holder.
How do I care for it?
Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Keep it out of the dishwasher and don't leave it standing in water. A thin coat of Danish oil once or twice a year keeps the wood looking good.
Is it really made from a whisky barrel?
Yes. The dents, stains and char marks you can see come from the years the barrel spent in a distillery warehouse.
Does it make a good gift?
It's a small present for anyone who enjoys a dram. I also make holders from named distillery casks, with the distillery and year engraved on them. If you'd like room for two glasses, have a look at the double whisky glass holder.

About this piece
A solid oak dram stand handcrafted in Scotland from a reclaimed Scotch whisky barrel. Its 60 mm tartan-lined cradle holds a stemmed nosing glass, copita or small wine glass, cushioning the glass against the timber. Each piece is cut and sanded by hand, then sealed in Danish oil to bring out the warm honey tones and individual grain. Approximately 12–14 cm across and 3 cm tall, it is a compact addition to a home bar or tasting corner. The glass is not included.
