Established in 1780, the original distillery on this site was called the Bow Street Distillery. John Jameson took full ownership (he was previously the general manager) and expanded the distillery in 1805. By 1810, the operation was officially renamed to John Jameson & Son’s Bow Street Distillery. The huge city was described by many as a "city within a city". The distillery
also housed a Smithy, Cooperage, saw mills, engineers, carpenters, painters and coppersmiths’ shops.
Falling on hard times the production of whisky at the site ceased in 1971. It is now a visitors centre that provides guided tours, tutored whiskey tastings, bar and a gift shop. The production of Jameson's was moved out of Dublin to the New Midleton Distillery.
