More details on the award-winning Pearse Lyons Distillery whiskeys:
Masters – Blended Premium: Pearse 7 Years Distillers Choice – 43% ABV
This expression of Pearse Irish Whiskey has been the flagship whiskey product and most successful seller for Pearse Lyons Distillery for many years. It previously was awarded Best Blended Irish Whiskey under 12 Years Old for two consecutive years at the World Whiskies Awards.
Pearse Distillers Choice is a malt-forward, malt-and-grain whiskey blend aged in a combination of former Town Branch Bourbon and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale casks and sherry barrels for 7–10 years.
Ha’penny Four Cask – 43% ABV
Ha’penny Four Cask Irish Whiskey is a very versatile multi award winning whiskey. It was created using four different cask types and two styles of whiskey. The whiskey is a combination Port Pipe Malt, Town Branch Bourbon Barrel Malt, Sherry Butt Grain and Double Charred Barrel Grain.
Gold – Single Malt Super Premium: Pearse Genesis Release – 57.1% ABV
Pearse Lyons Genesis Release is the first Dublin Distilled Single Malt Whiskey to be produced on the altar of St James. It is the culmination of the work of generations of the Lyons family in the Dublin whiskey industry. Five generations of Coopers, before Dr. Pearse Lyons started distilling in Dublin in 2017 and with Dr. Mark Lyons now being the 7th generation. This inaugural release is a vatting of just four hand selected casks. This whiskey was recently awarded Best New Irish Whiskey at the Irish Whiskey Awards
Gold – New Make: Pearse Pot Still New Make
Pearse Pot Still New Make is a mixed mash bill of malted and unmalted grains, double distilled. New Make showcases the true spirit and essence of the whiskey being produced at Pearse Lyons Distillery. It was made using their own grain grown at the Lyons family farm and is a testament to the top-quality of the product being grown there using Alltech Crop Science products. This highlights that the extra efforts put into having an excellent in-house supply of grain can be tasted in the final product.
