Guided Tour

- Ireland
Step into one of Dublin's most captivating cultural venues at the Pearse Lyons Distillery, housed within the meticulously restored St. James’s Church in the heart of The Liberties historic whiskey district. Combining centuries of fascinating storytelling with the art of boutique Irish craft distilling, this exclusive guided experience takes you from the ancient grounds of St. James's Graveyard directly into the heart of a working boutique distillery.
Guided by an expert whiskey storyteller, you will discover the rich heritage of the site—with roots extending back to the 12th century—and uncover how the Lyons family breathed new life into the historic church. Marvel at the glowing stained-glass windows depicting distilling history and gaze up at the iconic 'Liberties Lantern' glass spire standing tall over the copper pot stills. The grand finale of your visit takes place at the tasting bar, where you will enjoy an elevated tasting session of six signature pours: Pearse Original, Distiller's Choice, Founder's Choice, the 12-Year-Old Single Malt, the limited edition Cooper's Select Sherry Cask, and a special pour of the Pearse 5-Year-Old Single Malt.
