Design and Craftsmanship
Every BraveStaves tasting board is distinct. Because no two whiskies are identical, no two oak staves are exactly the same in colouring, length, or width. The natural character of the oak, paired with its rich distillery history, creates a beautiful base for a whisky flight to share with friends.
The board features three hand-bored, shallow 50mm holes — the perfect size for a standard Glencairn whisky tasting glass, the preferred nosing glass of whisky drinkers. These recesses are elegantly inlaid with your choice of genuine Harris Tweed® or faux leather inserts, adding a touch of classic Scottish textile heritage to the rustic wood.
