Clear skies, verdant fields and vibrant blooms, ‘the charming month of May’ is a marvellous affair in Scotland. With longer days, warmer climes and less midges, we are delighting in our first camping trips, rambles and weddings. It also happens to be Whisky Month, with World Whisky Day this year celebrated on the 16th May. Here’s yer chance to try a wee dram, and divulge your life story to your new pal at the local pub.
Known as Uisge Beatha (water of life), whisky, along with tartan, ceilidhs and bagpipes, is synonymous with Scotland. Nae wonder weddings here are so much fun! We love the wild whisky, the fervent dancing, the ardent banter and of course the serene sincerity of the ceremony. The vows, the rings and the kiss are the modern-day triptych of tying the knot, and they each deserve to be glorious.
We have the perfect selection of wedding rings, in a range of widths and sizes, for any taste, age or gender. Whilst we love all of our wedding rings, we particularly love our whisky barrel men’s wedding rings. They are unique, timeless and hard wearing – made to last a lifetime.
How are whisky barrels made into men’s wedding rings?
Our jewellers cut and shape the charred wood, which is then fixed into the metal core and expertly sealed with a hardwearing resin. Creating beautifully varied tones and hues of whisky barrel men’s wedding bands, each ring is unique.
How are whisky barrels made?
Whisky barrels are made by artisans in a process called coopering. Oak staves are left to season for up to 3 years, before the barrels are charred to create filtration within the barrel. The charring releases lignins from the oak, creating a caramelised or smoky flavour within the whisky.
Who can wear our whisky barrel men’s wedding rings?
Anyone! Our whisky barrel wedding rings are elegant, comfortable and durable. Made with tungsten carbide, repurposed whisky barrel wood, and sealed with a hard resin, these stunning whisky barrel men’s wedding bands perfectly express the unbroken commitment between two people.
Can women wear the whisky barrel wedding rings?
Absolutely! Mixing tradition with modern jewellery techniques, our whisky barrel wedding rings, look classically stylish on women. For a unique and understated look, our sizes start small and from 4mm width. On the other hand, our men’s wedding bands come in very large sizes and wider 8mm designs to show more of the inlay. From his and hers wedding bands, to matching men’s wedding rings, we will have a pair of wedding rings for you!
For the icing on the wedding cake, we can engrave your whisky barrel wedding bands with a sweet note from your love.
What is the engraving service and how does it work?
We can engrave up to 18 characters on a tungsten whisky barrel wedding band. Your wedding rings will be forever personal and cherished. With 4 fonts to choose from, subtly engraved into the inner band, only you need ever know what is written.
We will send your chosen rings to you first to try on – making sure that your forever band fits perfectly. Once this is confirmed, you send them back with the return instructions provided and we will then engrave them for you.
A few days later you will receive your perfectly fitting engraved rings.
Whether you opt for whisky barrel wood, or you’re looking for a different style, you will find it in our extensive selection of men’s wedding bands.
Enjoy the beautiful weather, whisky and banter this month – and please do come and visit us at our shop on Jeffrey Street, Edinburgh, where we can help you find your perfect wedding ring.
