Product description
Pears Lyons, of Irish descent, opened the distillery in Lexington, Kentucky in 2008.
Four years later, he began distilling in a joint venture in Carlow, his native Ireland. In 2017, the distilling equipment was transported to Dublin, to the renovated and adapted St. James’s Church for whiskey (and gin) production. Sadly, Pears Lyons died the following year, leaving the company to his wife Deirdre and son Mark. Today, Pears Lyons Distillery, equipped with a pair of stills, produces single malt and single pot still whiskeys, as well as blends. Pears Original, presented here, is a blended whiskey made from distillates aged exclusively in bourbon barrels for at least five years. Its formula includes its own single malt whiskey.
