Jack Daniel's Riverboat Captain's Bottle 2nd Issue Whiskey (1.75 Litre Magnum)
Out of stock
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 liter 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
A warm, sunlit amber with copper-gold highlights and a honeyed depth. The liquid glows with inviting warmth, deepening toward a mahogany edge at the rim.
Nose
Aromas of vanilla bean and caramel mingle with toffee, toasted oak and a whisper of char. Faint orange zest and almond drift over a gentle grain sweetness, with subtle cinnamon spice. Elegant and inviting, it recalls riverboat brass and lantern glow—warm, refined, and gently sweet with caramelized hints.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, this pours with caramel sweetness and warm vanilla, then unfurls toasted oak and a touch of char. Creamy toffee, almond and subtle spices unfold mid-palate, weaving a gentle cinnamon-nutmeg lift. The finish is long and refined, lightly peppery with a whisper of orange zest, leaving a balanced, classic Tennessee whiskey warmth.
Finish
Silky and enduring, the finish unfurls with vanilla-cream sweetness and caramel, then draws in toasted oak and a kiss of spice. Warm, refined, and lingering, it leaves a soft, dignified echo of the riverboat era.
