The idea
Good whisky travels well.
The Travelling Whisky Case is built for those who take a finer path wherever they go: a proper serve, wherever you are. Two crystal tumblers, a jigger, a bar spoon and a pair of solid walnut coasters travel secured inside a case built with the same in-frame discipline, solid timber and hand-finished detailing as a Cambridge Bespoke kitchen.
Designed for whisky, cocktails and evenings worth remembering.

Each Travelling Whisky Case is individually numbered, from 1 to 25, with its own engraved brass plaque.
Every case is also accompanied by its own permanent digital provenance record — the same tradition observed for a fine watch, a piece of art or a handmade yacht — accessed by tapping or scanning the card supplied inside.
The craftsmanship within
A solid approach to a finer journey.
CNC-machined solid walnut frame
The case body is machined from solid walnut, not veneered board, then hand-finished.
Solid or real-walnut-veneered base panel
Timber used intelligently where structurally appropriate — always real walnut, never veneer over MDF or particleboard.
CNC-machined solid walnut insert
Deep, precisely machined recesses hold every glass and fitting securely in place, including glass recesses machined directly from solid walnut.
Deep, precisely machined recesses in solid walnut. Built to last a lifetime.
In the detail
Everything considered.
Solid Brass Lock
Security for better company.
Leather Retention Straps
Simple. Strong. Beautiful.
Solid Walnut Coasters
Details make the difference.
Precision Fittings
Everything in its place.
Solid Brass Hinges
Built for the journey ahead.

A record, not just a receipt
Every case carries its own story.
Tap or scan the card inside your case and it opens your own permanent page: your edition number, the materials used, the story of how your case was made, and a personal record that stays with the piece for as long as you own it.
The Collection
Edition. Atelier. Unique.
The Travelling Whisky Case is offered at three levels of commission. Every level retains the same Cambridge Bespoke construction and its own permanent Digital Provenance Record — the difference lies in materials, scarcity and the depth of individual commission work.
Christmas Edition 2026 · 01/25 – 25/25
The Founding Edition
The first twenty-five Travelling Whisky Cases made by Cambridge Bespoke. Each piece is individually numbered and handmade in Cambridge using American black walnut, English bridle leather, solid brass fittings and crystal glassware.
Each case includes its own Cambridge Bespoke Digital Provenance Record, accessed through the accompanying NFC provenance card.
01/10 – 10/10
The Atelier Edition
One of ten. Made around you.
A highly personalised interpretation of the Travelling Whisky Case, individually commissioned from a selection of exceptional natural materials and finished specifically for its owner.
Every Atelier Edition begins with the selection of its individual materials. The walnut, natural stone, leather and metal finish are chosen specifically for the commission before the case is machined, fitted and hand-finished in Cambridge.
Hand-selected walnut, with burr or figured walnut available
Honey Onyx detailing, individually selected
English bridle leather in a choice of colours
Genuine 24ct gold-plated brass detailing on selected fittings
Handmade premium crystal, with optional engraving
Bespoke brass plaque with personal initials or dedication
Customised fitted interior, developed with the owner
Detailed making photography and a dedicated making film
Natural stone and timber vary piece to piece by nature — no two Atelier Editions are identical.
1/1
Cambridge Bespoke Unique
One design. One owner. One piece.
For clients who want something that will never be repeated, Cambridge Bespoke Unique offers a completely individual Travelling Whisky Case commission — not a fixed specification, but an object designed around one client from the ground up.
Materials are sourced and agreed individually for each commission, and could include exceptional cabinet timbers such as burr or figured walnut and Macassar ebony; natural stones such as Honey Onyx, Carrara or Portoro marble; sterling silver, solid brass and 24ct gold-plated detailing; bespoke leather; marquetry; a family crest, monogram or hand engraving; and a fully individually designed fitted interior.
This list is illustrative, not a fixed menu — every Unique commission begins with a conversation about what the piece is for.
Materials, scarcity and commission work
Why the levels differ.
Founding Edition
The original Cambridge Bespoke design, produced as a tightly controlled edition of twenty-five.
Atelier
Rare natural materials, more individual finishing, client material selection and deeper provenance.
Unique
A completely new one-off object, commissioned around a single owner from the ground up.
Atelier materials
Rare materials, used sparingly.

Honey Onyx
A naturally translucent stone characterised by warm amber, cream and gold veining. Every section of Honey Onyx is different, allowing each Atelier Edition to carry a genuinely individual natural detail.
Available as removable whisky coasters, a lid inset, a small serving panel, a plaque surround or interior detailing — used elegantly, not as a standard feature of every commission.
24ct Gold-Plated Detailing
Genuine 24ct gold-plated brass detailing is available on selected components: the lock face, handle mounts, edition plaque, leather strap studs, decorative inlay or selected fittings.
Used as an accent, not the design itself — even at Atelier level, the case remains walnut first, precious materials second.
Cambridge Bespoke Digital Provenance Record
A record that grows with the commission.
Every case carries a permanent Digital Provenance Record, reached discreetly through the NFC card or QR code supplied inside. The card is simply the gateway — the record itself, documenting your piece for as long as you own it, is the feature.
