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 pen barrel wood grain is unique.

The Zen Of Fine Writing
As you likely already know... Our physical store in Biltmore Village was completely destroyed in the Flood Disaster.
We are working to recreate our brick and mortar store. Until then we are building up this online store, where you'll find a "Current Offerings" shopping page (to the right) OR scroll down on our HOME PAGE where you'll find more specific shopping links being added daily. If you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know and we'll arrange getting it to you, since it's likely that we have it but it's simply not up on our site yet. Please keep checking back and you will find something new each time you do! We should have our site expanded to a completion very soon.
We have, also, set up a Go Fund Me site for donations here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
