Jim Beam Commemorative Whiskey Decanter Indianapolis 150th Anniversary 1821-1971 Whiskey 43%

A souvenir decanter from 1971 tells a story a regular bottle never could — 150 years of Jim Beam captured in porcelain.

About the product

This Jim Beam commemorative decanter was made to mark the brand's 150th anniversary and its Indianapolis motif, originally filled with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at 43%. It's a collector's piece from Jim Beam's long line of figural decanters, which the distillery has been known for over the decades.

Today it's mainly of interest as a collector's item and a decor piece rather than something to drink — always check condition and any remaining content before opening.
