Hi all. Family has an old Jameson bottle but no idea about the age. If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate it! The lot number or serial number is apparent, but I don't know of any place to research this further. Thanks for any help.

Without knowing anything about the bottle that's the era I thought also based solely on the fact that the family friend who passed away had a bunch of good bottles (couple of scotch whisky couple of wine) from the 50's and 60's. In searching the interwebs seems like that label is in that era, but I hadn't seen a bottle with the exact lot number or the irish coffee tag. Wondering if that helped date it or if it was something special. Thanks for the reply! My dad brought it to my recent wedding in memory of the friend, but it was so hectic that day we didn't even crack it!

Nice example of an American bottling of Jameson at 43 degrees ABV, I can pretty accurately date this from between December 1960 and late 1967.
Well worth cracking open to try Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey from this era.
