Description
Recycled Scottish Whisky Barrel Ring Hearts
Whisky Barrel Ring Hearts are a unique and sustainable way to celebrate craftsmanship and recycling. Hand crafted at Watling Reclamation, these hearts are made from reclaimed iron rings originally used as retaining hoops on Scottish whisky barrels. Each ring’s material tells a story, having weathered years of service holding together oak barrels used in whisky production.
The artisans carefully shape the iron rings into heart forms, creating an appealing and meaningful product. The rings come from various parts of the barrel, each with its own character. The largest ring, the Bilge Hoop, provides a broad and bold shape. Medium-sized rings, called the Quarter and French Hoops, offer a balanced and versatile option. The smallest rings, known as the Head or Chime Hoops, are the most challenging to work with due to their width and tight curves. These hoops require exceptional skill to bend into the iconic heart shape.
