About this audio guide
This guide to Jameson Distillery Bow St. in Dublin traces how a Scottish lawyer, John Jameson, married into a Dublin whiskey family in 1768 and turned a modest Bow Street operation into one of the world's largest distilleries by the turn of the nineteenth century. You'll hear how the site swelled into a five-acre "city within a city" of stills, cooperage and workshops, and why production here stopped in 1971. Listen for how Dubliners once described the scale of the place.
