All island gift sets and dram sets come with Glencairn or distillery dram whisky glasses that sit upon Harris Tweed inserts. Whisky barrels in the distilling process The process of distilling fine Scottish malt whisky is an art which has been passed down through generations since ancient times. The name whisky derives from the Scottish Gaelic term "uisge beatha" meaning The Water Of Life. Each whisky distillery has its own secret method of creating the subtle aromas and character which contribute to the unique flavour of their single malts. A crucial part of that process is the specific whisky barrel, or cask, in which the spirit is matured. Distinct flavour is added during the aging process by reusing oak barrels which have previously contained whisky or sherry. Our whisky barrel gifts Each aged whisky cask has a life of its own and a story to tell. We like to think that story is continued by created handcrafted gifts from selected old barrels. Our traditional whisky barrel gift sets, candle holders and dram sets make the perfect gift for weddings and special occasions. They also add character and tradition to any whisky collection. All of our products are hand made in Scotland using the original components from aged oak barrels.
