Highland Cow Engraved Whisky Decanter – Custom Label Design

The Story Behind the Design

Heritage in a Glass — Personalised for Your Story

Rooted in Scotland’s rugged beauty, this custom whisky decanter blends tradition, craftsmanship, and personal storytelling. The engraving features a Highland Cow, noble and stoic, facing the viewer against a backdrop of rolling mountains — framed in a design reminiscent of a classic whisky label.

Below the artwork, the Scots phrase “Deoch an Doris” — a drink at the door — offers a nod to the age-old Scottish tradition of farewell hospitality.

Crafted in the timeless apothecary bottle style with a rich wooden stopper, this piece can be personalised with your name, special date, and message, alongside fixed details like Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Master Distiller — creating a decanter that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful. Whether it marks a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or milestone year, it's a keepsake designed for celebration and legacy.

Each decanter is engraved by hand in our Fife studio, ensuring a finish that feels as good as it looks — smooth, satin-like, and permanent.
