Springbank 1991 Whisky Barrel Pendant Light

A three-bulb pendant made from a stave of Springbank cask 5734, filled in 1991. 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

Springbank is in Campbeltown, at the end of the Kintyre peninsula. It's family-owned and still malts all of its own barley on traditional floor maltings. This stave held whisky in cask 5734, filled in 1991. The year is when the cask was filled, not a statement of how old any whisky was.

Where this light belongs

It suits a kitchen island, a dining table or the bar corner of a living room. The curve of the stave softens straight lines in a modern kitchen, and the black chain ties in with darker fittings.

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 likes Springbank?

Springbank has a loyal following, and a light made from one of its casks is hard to come by.
