Pearse Lyons Distillery Dublin
Pearse Lyons Distillery: Who are we
Pearse Lyons Distillery is Dublin’s newest visitor experience, boasting a boutique distillery in the former St. James’ Church. Guests can enjoy an immersive experience with local guides who will regale tales dating from 12th Century Dublin to modern days.
Upon entering the former St. James’ Church, now a working distillery, guests will explore the art of distilling, while smelling, touching and tasting every step of the distillation process. Each one-hour tour finishes with a tasting experience of three hand-crafted Pearse Irish Whiskeys and a sample of Ha’Penny Dublin Dry Gin.
Founded by Pearse and Deirdre Lyons, the distillery opened its doors to the public in late August 2017. Pearse Lyons Distillery is located on James’s Street, Dublin 8, only a five-minute walk from the Guinness Storehouse.
Tours operate seven days a week and ticket prices start from €18. For more information, check out http://www.pearselyonsdistillery.com/ or follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
