Located in Dublin’s historic Liberties, Pearse Lyons Distillery, Dublin’s only boutique distillery, is a five-minute walk from The Guinness Storehouse. Nestled in the former Church of St.James, this distillery has a colourful history dating back to the 12 Century.
On tour of the distillery and surrounding graveyard, guests are introduced to the compelling characters from Dublin’s famous distilling and brewing district. This district, rich in culture and tradition, was once a place of booming industry known as The Golden Triangle.
The Pearse Lyons Distillery produces some of Ireland’s finest small batch Irish whiskies and celebrates the Irish tradition of storytelling on each guided tour. Guests enjoy a sensory experience as they are brought through the distilling process, before enjoying whiskey and gin tastings at our tasting bar.

An unique tour in which we learned a lot about the history of the church and the cemetery, as well as how the church came to be a distillery, including a detailed explanation of how the whisky is made.
The church with its copper still pots and stained glass windows - in keeping with its history - was very impressive.
The final tasting in the church was the grand finale - it wasn't easy; in the end we decided on the Ha'penny.

The tour was an immersion in the history of the distillery and the Liberties district of Dublin. The whiskeys and gin were excellent and the guide was most gracious. The location of the distillery is unique. Extremely recommended.

A setting that changes from the more “touristy” distillery visits.
The place has a real history that the young guide explains perfectly.
The tasting is also nice.
I recommend it for those who want to get off the beaten track and take a more intimate visit and discover whiskeys from a brand that is not widely distributed in France.

Beautiful distillery and property. The history of the former St. James Church and its evolution into a modern distillery was fascinating.
