Cheeky Chicks Recycled Solid Oak Long John Scotch whisky Branded Whisky Barrel Alfie Drinks Cabinet

Description

The recycled solid oak Long John Scotch whisky branded whisky barrel Alfie drinks cabinet has been hand made using barrels from some of Scotland's finest distilleries that have been recycled after spending a generation ageing whisky. Each barrel is refurbished and sanded back to give an aged oak look before the Long John transfer is added to the cabinet top and it is then varnished. The story goes that Long John Macdonald was a notorious bootlegger who came in from the cold and took out a license for the Ben Nevis distillery, just outside Fort William, in 1825. Before the end of the 19th century Ben Nevis was producing one of the first brands of single malt - Long John's Dew of Ben Nevis. While the distillery operated sporadically until it was bought by the Canadian distiller, Joseph Hobbs, in 1941, its Long John brand name had been sold to London wine and spirit merchant W.H. Chaplin & Co. some 30 years earlier, during what had been a tumultuous period for the Scotch industry. Approx dimensions: 86-98 cm High 65-70 cm wide at widest part. Manufactured in the UK Due to the ageing process of whisky involving the charing of the inside of the barrels, charcoal may be present on the inside of some of our products. We do our best to remove it but some may remain.
