I need your HELP

I have recently picked up this bottle of John Jameson

What is the PRESTON'S connection? -

Preston's are the bottlers (Thanks Bill for the answer)

The label is signed Preston Bros. & co.

A very nice postcard from Ireland

Some very interesting bottle labels

It is an export bottle at a strength of 26.2 volume

In general I do not collect large bottles but it complimented my range of Gordon's Cocktail mixers in miniature - see the next picture.

Variations exist with declared strength (usually 46 proof) and again without any indication (see picture opposite).

The contents of each cocktail vary - see next item.

I have reproduced some of the pages for your interest here including the recipes for Sweet Martini and Fifty-fifty cocktails (the contents of the bottles pictured above).

The recipe book used to be owned by a steward on British European Airways (BEA) in 1958 - they must have mixed cocktails in-flight!
