Pearse Lyons Distillery

The Pearse Lyons Distillery is located in Dublin’s historic Liberties. Here we create our award winning, small batch Irish Whiskey in a restored 18th Century Church. The former Church of St James, now a distillery, is a home worthy of the spirit it embodies. Named after the late Dr Pearse Lyons, founder and whiskey innovator, the distillery opened it’s doors in 2017. Paying homage to their ancestors, five generations of coopers in Dublin, the distillery experience takes you on an immersive journey where you discover and explore the art of Irish Whiskey distillation and the unique culture of The Liberties, Dublin.
