Whiskey Jug
- Details
One of the first in the world, and the first Dublin distillery, John Power & Son began bottling their Whiskey in 1886. Up until then, Whiskey was sold in barrels at merchants, bonders and to pub owners. They filled up bottles or smaller containers like, for example, clay jugs. Today we find some of the clay or glass whiskey jugs in Distilleries or pubs as decoration.
