These pens are unlike any Roots & Jones has ever made! Bourbon in Kentucky is a huge part of the culture and heritage—going all the way back to the early 1800's. And repurposing bourbon barrels into pens has become a passion for Roots & Jones. When turning the barrel staves into a pen, the woodshop gets filled with the fragrance of bourbon—almost like being in the distillery! Each bourbon barrel pen includes some of the char section from the inside of the barrel. This luxury pen comes with a magnetic rollerball pen mechanism. Each pen comes with a certificate of authenticity. Made in North Carolina.
