Roots & Jones is founded by grandfather and grandson duo Jim Cantrell and Ryan Jones. Starting out in the old barn wood shop in the outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky an old hobby has been passed down from one generation to the next, where it is being built into something everyone in the world can appreciate.

Bourbon in Kentucky is a huge part of the culture. Knowing this, we always wanted to explore repurposing the barrels into pens. These pens are unlike any we have ever made. When turning them the wood shop gets filled with the fragrance of bourbon. It’s almost like we are in the distillery! Our Bourbon Barrel pens have the actual char section of the barrel in the pen.
