The Gin School at Pearse Lyons Distillery is Dublin’s ultimate gin experience. Located on the grounds of Dublin’s only family-owned distillery, the Gin School is housed in newly restored early 20th Century townhouses in the heart of The Liberties, Dublin. 

During this two-hour gin experience, you will don an apron before entering the gin school where you are surrounded by scores of botanicals and fragrant gin notes. Our in-house experts will guide you through the history of gin and how it came to be one of the most popular drinks of the 21 Century. Throughout this sensory experience, you will develop a greater understanding of the perfect botanicals before putting your miniature copper pot-still to work. While your mini pot still is bubbling away, local seasonal bites will be served and paired with our signature Ha’Penny and Míl Gin cocktails.

Once your unique gin is ready, you will get the opportunity to check the alcohol strength, gaining approval from our in-house experts. You will then seal the 70cl bottle before adding a personalised label, ready to enjoy at home.

We are excited to welcome you to our distillery for a fun and educational experience in the world of mixology. In addition to the cocktail masterclass.

Our masterclass is an interactive and engaging experience for all attendees and is designed to give you the knowledge and skills necessary to create delicious cocktails at home, using our award-winning spirits.
