There’s something satisfying about turning a bottle that once fueled good nights and laughter into a permanent part of your space.
This lamp carries that spirit forward, it’s not just décor, it’s a memory holder.
Combined with raw wood, it balances elegance with grit, perfect for someone who appreciates both craftsmanship and good whiskey.
Materials Needed
- 1 empty Jack Daniel’s bottle (or similar whiskey bottle)
- Wooden board or rustic log slice (for the base)
- Vertical wooden post or reclaimed wood plank
- Lamp socket and wiring kit
- LED bulb (warm white works best for glow)
- Drill with glass bit (optional)
- Sandpaper and wood finish/stain
- Screws and brackets for support
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Clean and dry your Jack Daniel’s bottle, making sure no residue or liquid remains inside.
Step 2: Prepare the wooden base by sanding and staining it for a polished rustic finish. Then attach a vertical wooden plank to the base securely.
Step 3: Mount the bottle to the plank by using brackets or threading wiring through the bottle if you choose to drill.
Step 4: Install the lamp socket above the bottle’s neck so the bulb illuminates the label from behind.
Step 5: Thread wiring safely along the wood and connect to your socket. Attach the bulb.
Step 6: Switch it on and enjoy how the whiskey bottle glows with a golden warmth, instantly becoming the highlight of your room.
Tips:
For extra character, keep the bottle cap on, or use a colored LED bulb to change the mood.
Also, you can pair this lamp with a small whiskey glass candle holder for a complete themed setup.
