A valinch is a tube used to take small amounts of whisky from a barrel, for example for testing. This tube is normally made from copper but Angels’ Share Glassware have created their own unique valinch from glass and it comes complete with its own stand made from the stave of an oak whisky barrel.
If you have a small barrel at home, or own a share in a cask at a distillery, then this is the gift for you. It would also take pride of place on any mantelpiece or whisky shelf.
To operate, simply put the valinch into the barrel, cover the hole at the top and lift it back out. Then release your finger from the top hole with the valinch over a suitable vessel for the liquid to pour into.
The valinch is approx 50cm and the stand is approx 60cm.
