4) Friar John T-Shirt Dark

Friar John King James Tee

Inspired by the figure often credited with distilling aqua vitae for King James IV of Scotland in the late 1400s, the Friar John tee is a quiet nod to whisky’s earliest recorded roots. The design captures that moment in history when monks, medicine and early distillation intersected long before whisky became the global spirit we know today.

Printed on a premium organic cotton tee, this shirt is made for everyday wear. Soft, durable and clean in its fit, it carries the kind of understated character that suits anyone who appreciates the history behind the dram.

Every purchase also helps support The Crescent Barrel Club, funding our research, writing and projects exploring whisky history, maturation science and the craft of distillation.
