Jameson Pure Pale Malt

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Hi
My name is Philip I live near Knock Shrine Co Mayo

I am seeking any info on a very old Jameson Bottle I found in an old early 18 centuary building I was actually restoring a box sash window and the bottle was left inside when the sash window was being built very dusty and assuming it had not seen the light of day untill I found it . I could upload a picture if I new how any ideas how I do this.

This is a photo that bottle Philip referred to in his post. The capsule is missing but its a great find. It raises lots of questions. I was aware of records of Jameson Malt whiskey but hadn't seen a label. There's no mention that it's whiskey on the label either but I'm assuming it is. It's a real museum piece.

I'm guessing 19th Century. If they'd put whisky without an 'e' it would be easier to date.

That's a great find. I have a bottle of Jameson malt, a small bottle. I always wondered if it was just some label prepared by the pub it was bottled in and actually contained pot still, but it was a lot more recent than this bottle pictured.

Kingstown renamed 'Dun Laoghaire' 1920 so it is before this anyway.
From the script of the label pretty definite last half of 19th. Century
and not early 20th. Fabulous label ! is it full ???? House renovations
always throw up the weird and the wonderful !

Yes, a very interesting find. very hard to judge age but yes I'dn agree with Raven's estimation.

However there will be very little whiskey value in this even if it is full. The Cork is too far removed to assure contents and the label even though probably old not overly interesting.

If there is any actual value in this it would be the physical bottle and whether it is really old or just old Rerally hard to tell by picture alone.

Still I'd sure someone would like to own it as a curiousity if nothing else.

Really nice to see though. Thanks fopr Posting.


Also Bushmills use to label it's whiskey Bushmills Pure Male Whiskey (not Malt). Whether this was for export markets only I'm not sure but that was back in the mide to late 20th centurary before change to All Malt up to the 1st world war.

the bottle looks similar to my Burkes whiskey from the 1920-s

they had wire around the neck and then the capsule on it
