Jameson Distillers Find a 230 Year Old Barrel of Whiskey In the Foundation

On April 1, 2017, Jameson Whiskey announced that while undergoing improvements to their Bow Street Facility in Dublin, Ireland they found a 230 year old barrel of Irish whiskey buried in the foundation of the building. The staff thought that this was a very valuable batch for it to have been protected so well by the founder John Jameson himself, but upon pouring the contents, they discovered that angels had “taken more than their fair share” and left behind only a single glass of this precious whiskey.

During a recent renovation of the 230 year old Jameson Distillery in Dublin, a batch of whiskey was discovered in the foundations of the building.
