点评:I learned about Pearse Lyons through a webinar. My wife and I already had a trip to Dublin planned and added the tour to our itinerary.
Pearse Lyons is a family owned distillery that also distills bourbon in Kentucky. It is small Irish whiskey distillery, making about 6,000 barrels a year. I would highly recommend the Pearse Lyons tour. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality and experience.
The history of the church Pearse Lyons occupies goes back almost a thousand years and the family has gone to great expense to restore the building, including the beautiful glass spire. Additionally, the history of the Liberties, the neighborhood Pearse Lyons is in, is equally important.
We were surprised that the tasting included gin. My wife and I do not like gin, but we tried it. The gin was made with lavender and it was wonderful! We also tried a rhubarb gin. Again, I was shocked how much I enjoyed it. We ended up buying a bottle.
Tiernan was our host. He took the extra time to show us the Gin School. Groups of up to 18 people can creat their own gin with your choice of botanicals & fragrances. What a great group activity!
翻译:我通过一场网络研讨会了解了Pearse Lyons酒厂。当时我和妻子已经计划好去都柏林旅行,于是便把参观酒厂也列入了行程。
Pearse Lyons是一家家族经营的蒸馏酒厂,同样也在肯塔基州生产波本威士忌。这是一家规模较小的爱尔兰威士忌蒸馏厂,年产量约为6,000桶。我强烈推荐大家去参观Pearse Lyons酒厂——那里的产品品质与参观体验定会让你惊喜不已。Pearse Lyons所在的这座教堂有着近千年的历史,他的家族耗费巨资对建筑进行修复,包括那座漂亮的玻璃尖塔。此外,Pearse Lyons所居住的Liberties街区同样拥有深厚的历史底蕴。
让我们感到意外的是,品酒环节中居然有杜松子酒。我和妻子都不喜欢杜松子酒,但还是尝试了一下。这款杜松子酒以薰衣草为原料,味道棒极了!我们还尝了用大黄酿制的杜松子酒。同样美味!我惊讶于自己竟然如此喜欢这个过程。最后我们还买了一瓶。
蒂尔南是我们的向导。他特意花时间带我们参观了金酒制作课堂。最多18人的团体可以自由选择各种植物原料和香料来亲手制作属于自己的金酒。这真是一项很棒的团体活动啊!
