A map of America, one Jim Beam bottle per state — this 1971 decanter commemorates the very first convention of the club built entirely around collecting decanters like it.

The front features a map of the United States with each state's corresponding Jim Beam bottle illustrated within its borders — a remarkable snapshot of the full collection at the time. The back lists all the 1971 affiliate clubs and their locations, and a fun illustration of Reginald Fox graces the lid, the same dapper fox who appears throughout the Jim Beam Specialties Club series.
A truly unique gift for the serious Jim Beam collector, the bourbon history enthusiast, or any dad who appreciates the kind of piece that tells a whole story just by sitting on the shelf.
The National Association of Jim Beam Bottle and Specialties Clubs was founded in 1971 and grew rapidly through the decade as Jim Beam's figural decanter series became one of the most popular collectible categories in America, making pieces like this first-convention decanter particularly significant in the hobby's history.
