John Jameson & Son's 10 Year Old. Bottled by Donnelly & Co Ltd. Irish Whiskey. Bottled 1950s. No size stated although equal to 75cl. No strength stated. No box.
A wonderful old bottle of Jameson 10-year-old bottled at some point around the 1950s. This Jameson was bottled by Donnelly & Co. Ltd of Rathmines, a posh Dublin suburb. For most of its history, Jameson’s Bow St distillery sold their whiskey by the barrel to a huge network of local merchants who bottled it themselves - the brand did few of their own commercial bottlings until after the late 1960s merger that created Irish Distillers. This old Jameson 10-year-old will be entirely single pot still whiskey from Bow St., and is in great condition for its age.

Dublin’s Bow Street distillery was built in 1780 by the Steins, one of Scotland’s greatest distilling families. John Jameson was a Scottish lawyer whose wife Margaret Haig was part of the Haig-Stein whisky dynasty, and during the 1780s the Jameson family moved to Dublin to help manage the Stein’s Bow Street Distillery. The Jamesons bought the distillery from the Steins in 1805 and renamed the business John Jameson & Son in 1810.
John Jameson & Son was registered as a limited company around the turn of the 20th century, and joined with John Power & Sons and the Cork Distillery Company to form Irish Distillers Ltd in 1966. The Bow St distillery was closed in the 1970s and production of Jameson was moved to the new Midleton distillery in Cork. Irish Distillers was purchased in 1988 by Pernod Ricard, who concentrated their investment in Jameson and have overseen a dramatic upturn in the brand’s fortunes ever since.
