Original 1st issue which is unboxed.
Released in 1987
Throughout the 1800’s, steamboats navigated rivers across the country and gave people a way to travel comfortably and in style. During this time, the captains of these riverboats were well respected and considered part of the most affluent social circles.
One of the more famous captains was Thomas Ryman…Jack Daniel knew that men of this stature would be a great way to spread the word about his whiskey. He also knew that riverboats passing through Nashville on the Cumberland River likely traveled to places that had not yet heard of his Tennessee Whiskey… In 1987, the Distillery released the 1.75 litre Riverboat Captain Decanter. Originally sold with 90 proof whiskey, this decanter also became available in 86 proof as the Distillery began to experiment with lower alcohol content.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-gold warmth and a sunlit honey glow.
Nose
Vanilla and caramel rise on a cushion of toasted oak, with a subtle brown-sugar sweetness. A bright kiss of orange zest enlivens creamy grain, while a delicate spice—cinnamon and white pepper—lingers, yielding a refined, old-world Tennessee whiskey aroma.
Palate
Silky and balanced, it unfolds vanilla and toffee sweetness, layered with toasted oak and a kiss of spice. Caramel lingers with a citrusy lift, creamy mouthfeel across the mid-palate, and a warm finish of oak and subtle charcoal, leaving a refined, lingering sweetness.
Finish
Long, warming finish with toasted oak, vanilla and caramel sweetness, a touch of spice, and a subtle citrus lift that lingers gracefully on the palate.
