Indulge in the art of fine writing with the Bourbon Barrel Tornado™ Rollerball pen. Steeped in tradition and quality craftsmanship, these pens have been meticulously produced from charred oak barrel staves that once housed some of the finest bourbon whiskey in the United States. The reclaimed oak has been sourced from US distilleries and skillfully turned down into the pen barrels that are finished with stonewashed copper accents and loaded with a rollerball refill that is as smooth as the spirit it once nurtured. They are packaged with sophistication in a decorative tube to display proudly on your desk or store your Bourbon Barrel when not in use.
These Tornados are the first small-batch release in the newest Woodworks Collection from Retro51. Like bourbon itself, these Tornados take time to create and may be available in smaller run sizes throughout the year. If you have a palate for bourbon, make sure to add this to your collection. With its rich heritage, the Bourbon Barrel Tornado marks the end of its journey from the distillery to Retro51 and now into your hands to carry on the legacy. With every purchase of the Bourbon Barrel Rollerball a donation is made to ‘Eden: People+Planet’ in efforts to plant a tree.
Each twist-action pen comes loaded with a Retro 1951 Tornado black rollerball refill that flows with a medium stroke.
