Hey everyone, as i have alot of spare time on my hands decided to do a wee project and restore Cask ends.
Picked up another 5 today so have around 9 blank ones so looking for some ideas what to paint / engrave onto them!

heres a few ideas i have thought of -

1) Port Ellen

2) Kilchoman

3) Bruichladdich

Please post any other ideas / logos thanks John

If you plan on selling them on, then i would suggest popular lost distilleries such as Port Ellen or Brora. Then of course there would be a lot of interest in distilleries such as Ardbeg and Glenfiddich.

Not planning on selling them just as a hobby to pass time!

Just looking for ideas thanks

A full set of Islay distilleries would probably look good mounted on a wall next to each other, butr you would need a lot of space for that.

The "Islay" and scotch whisky where in gold but couldnt really make it out,
so had to change it to black so doesnt look as good as it did Crying or Very sad

Not to worry give it a varnish tomorro.
