More pictures could help, but it looks like 50s or 60s. It would be from the old distillery in Dublin that closed in 1971. If I remember correctly Jameson stopped selling pure pot still in 1968.

Most likely 1950s to early 1960s

Thanks for the respons. I have put more pictures to it.
You are right the stoped botteling at `68 in st Bow`s

I also think it is befor 1970. I have tried to get unlock the code on the bottle ( A4E 8 17 UGB ).
UGB is: United Glass Bottles from the mid 20 s

I hope with this extra pictures you get more sight to it.

Almost certainly 1950s or early 60s, the pre-war labelling was quite different. A bottle like yours is pictured in adverts in the USA around 1958-60.

Yes earlier bottlings had by appointment to HM the King, up to the mid late 1940s, possibly dropped in 1948 when Ireland became a Republic (and no longer a member of the commonwealth). Hopefully my history is correct.
