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 who was responsible for designing it. That honour 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
A luminous burnished amber, honey-gold with coppery highlights, rich and inviting, deepening to mahogany at the rim.
Nose
Opulent and inviting, the aroma layers caramelized vanilla with toasted oak, a gentle corn sweetness, and a whisper of orange zest. Spices—cinnamon and clove—emerge softly, finishing with polished woody notes that promise elegance in the glass.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied with an inviting warmth. Caramel and vanilla lead the palate, evolving into toasted oak and a whisper of spice. Corn-sweet sweetness lingers, while a subtle charcoal finish keeps it refined and enduring.
Finish
Long and satin-soft, the finish layers vanilla and caramel over toasted oak, with a gentle swirl of spice. The charcoal-mellowed backbone lingers warmly, fading into a clean, subtly smoky sweetness that leaves a refined, memorable glow.
