Pearse Lyons Distillery: Guided Tour with 4 Tastings

About this experience

Pearse Lyons Distillery Guided Tour with 4 Tastings Pearse Lyons Distillery offers one of Dublin's most distinctive whiskey experiences in a converted 18th-century church in the Liberties district. This boutique distillery combines traditional Irish distilling methods with modern craft techniques, creating small-batch whiskeys beneath soaring stained glass windows and Gothic arches. Your guided tour takes you through the complete whiskey-making process, from selecting the finest Irish barley to aging spirits in carefully chosen oak casks. You'll explore the working distillery with its gleaming copper pot stills, then visit the adjacent St. James's Graveyard to learn about the area's fascinating connection to Dublin's distilling heritage. The intimate setting allows for personalised attention throughout the hour-long experience.
