Jack Daniel's Maxwell House Decanter Tennessee Whiskey (1.5 Litre Magnum)
Out of stock
Originally Released in 1971
The Maxwell House Decanter was considered one of the most beautiful of its time and oddly enough it was not Jack Daniel's who was responsible for designing it. That honor instead went to Lem Motlow.
The origin of this decanter’s name dates back to the year 1859 when Colonel John Overton Jr. began construction on a new hotel in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Ironically, had it not been for a night out on the town, this hotel might never have been built… Over the years, the Maxwell House Hotel became a well-known stopping point for famous people passing through the South.
Lem Motlow knew of the hotel’s popularity and prestige and saw this as a business opportunity for the Distillery… To commemorate the decanter that Lem Motlow first presented to Colonel Overton, the Distillery released a half gallon replica bottle in 1971.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with a warm, honeyed glow and subtle copper reflections.
Nose
Opulent vanilla and toffee laced with creamy caramel, inviting warmth from the corn sweetness. Toasted oak and a whisper of sugar create a silky backbone, while gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—emerges with citrus zest and a touch of smoke. An elegant, dessert-like nose that hints at classic Tennessee character.
Palate
Silky and balanced, with vanilla-forward sweetness, creamy caramel and toasted oak at the core. Subtle brown-sugar and gentle spice drift through, aided by a smoothing charcoal backbone. The finish unfolds slowly—warm, long, and cocoa-tinted, with lingering oak and a soft peppery edge.
Finish
Silken and enduring, the finish releases vanilla and caramel sweetness that linger over toasted oak, with a kiss of spice. It tapers gracefully to a warm, clean fade, inviting another contemplative sip.
