Pearse Lyons Distillery
Pearse Lyons Whiskey Distillery is something of a hidden gem in Dublin’s Liberties, but this is only because it relatively new, having only opened its doors for the first time in 2016. The distillery was named after it’s founder, Pearse Lyons, one of the most successful businessmen and entrepreneurs to ever come out of Ireland.
History of the Distillery
Pearse Lyons’s background was in brewing and he was aware of the proud history of whiskey distilling in the Liberties area of Dublin and so he decided to create a new distillery in an old disused church on James’s Street, just up the road from the Guinness brewery. Pearse Lyon’s grandfather had associations with the area and was in fact buried in the graveyard behind St. James’s church which made the location even more special
The old church building was tastefully and carefully restored and the interior lavishly designed and fitted out to create one of the city's most fascinating whiskey attractions, which would produce Irish whiskey for sale around the world, but which would also be a visitor attraction to showcase the process of distilling Irish whiskey.
