Pearse Genesis - This Tastes Like Whiskey
In today's episode, Darren visits the Pearse Lyons Distillery, which has the distinction of having more dead bodies per square yard than all other Dublin distilleries combined!
The whiskey he's tasting? Pearse Genesis, the distillery's multi-award winning inaugural release. Stay tuned and find out if Pearse Genesis does in fact taste like whiskey.
Videography: Grainne Blumenthal
Special thanks to the Pearse Lyons team for providing the samples and the venue for this video.

It doesn't surprise me that Darren *could* talk for 8 hours about the history, what surprises me is he'd only walk 10 meters in that time.

I transition to more of a “shuffle” when I talk about history.
Fantastic! You and Gráinne are a perfect comedy duo Darren!

She was in the video twice, so it was a double Grainne whiskey video.
You had me at: "at the distillery"❤ Grainne at the end was the Chef's Kiss😂
I'm learning AND laughing?! WHAT MORE COULD ONE WANT!!

@@ThisTastesLikeWhiskey !!!!OMG....I LOVE this channel & pray you keep adding similar content. Honestly, you could go into these whiskies "a bit" deeper. I especially enjoy that Grainne is part of the videos...she's SOOOO COOL!!!! Best regards from Yucatan Mexico, Ben (your newest subscriber)
Those stained glass windows are awesome.

I think it’s definitely the most unique of the Dublin Distilleries. When you visit you learn as much about the people in the graveyard as you do about whiskey. It’s awesome.
All killer no filler, great start(s) to the channel.
This channel is the perfect blend of comedy and information. Great work, Grainne and Darren.
I’m not a big whiskey drinker but I followed Darren over from Try and just love his vibe. And great to see Grainne too.
Little Darren boyo trekking off on his own. Fine adventures to ensue I am certain. I hope to see Martin in a cameo in the near future.
This has now become a must watch for me.
has one of my fave people from the Try Channel in it... and that bloke as well
A Darren and Grainne whiskey channel? Okay, I'm in.
Gráinne certainly got herself a sexy assistant! Great series so far!
Love watching these!
Great video!! Between the knowledge and the comedy an outstanding vid. Having Grainne especially at the end was a real Bonus!
... and I thought my Fridays couldn't get any better!! Cheers!
I love the pacing, editing and the humor in these so much! I love listening to someone's passion while they're just having fun with it
I LOVE when old churches get new life, it looks cool af! Thanks for the video!
For once, the logarithm got it right! The Darren channel we all asked for!
Great video! Gráinne at the end had me cracking up!
Met Darren in Dublin two years ago. Good to see he’s sharing his knowledge.
The headstones are beautiful! The whole distillery is, as well.
Darren , you must be The formost Authority on Whiskey in Ireland !!!! Well done Sir !!!! 💚🍀☘️

Subscribed immediately without even atching a video. I knew this would be great! Go Darren! 🥃
Spirits in a church of the Holy Spirit? 😂 But seriously, that's a lovely distillery. The only sad bit is I'm more likely to win the lottery before I could find a bottle of the Pearse Genny.
That is an excellent use of a church.

Thanks Darren! Whiskey from an Altar... heavenly!
Had a touble take seeing the pot stills at the alter. I think that is fitting. Still loving the content. Want more and a longer format.
This is going to be a fun ride
Big mid-2000s-into-2010s travel show vibes, love love love it!
Well done. Teaching with humor. Can't wait for the blooper and outtake videos in the future.
Great video! Can’t wait for more content!
That Grainne cameo haha, and this was a hilarious video... just glad the youtube overlords recommended your channel to me, can't wait to see what comes next!
I'm so glad this popped up in my feed. Immediately liked, subscribed, and clicked the bell! 😊
Can’t wait for your visit to Lynchburg, TN and Louisville, KY
Well done! Grainne's contribution is noted! Stills on the altar is exactly the right place for them!
Come on, we need the "Darren's whiskey glasses" for it to be believable.
YOOOO just found the channel! Super excited!
This video popped up in my feed … I guess I watch too many whisky/whiskey videos. I started watching and thought “hold on, I know that guy”, and was wracking my brain trying to place the face. Then Grainne popped in and it hit me BAM! LOL, I remember you saying some time ago on TRY you were going to start a whiskey channel and here it is. Good one. Immediately watched the previous video . Subscribed 👍🏻
Holy crap! Its Tek knight's whiskey hour!
professional and then funny and back again.
Somehow you've made it in to the "must watch" category Darren!
instant sub! love it, mate! looking forward to more!
Well done!
Wow thanks for letting me know about a whisky I'll never be able to get.
lol I don't even drink but the editing was so funny. subscribed
I love this! Great video!
I love your style. You’re a good teacher.
hot damn! am i going to get a tour of Ireland's bars and distilleries from try channel Darren? I am here for it. Keep Grainne involved if you can. Lovin the comedy bits. good luck with the new venture.
You two produce a great video. Darren, you are a natural in front of the camera and have a grand knowledge of whiskey. I'm Kentucky, born and bred, so whiskey is my jam. GREAT job!!
Liked, subscribed, alerted, delighted.
What a gorgeous distillery! You keep releasing videos like this and I'll end up with a whole list of places to visit when I make it back to Ireland. 😊
First I've seen of these and it was great.It's a sub for me.
hahahaha, first episode I've seen and love it. So i watched every single episode on the channel, Subscribed, and then came back to tell you all that... This tastes like whiskey.
Sounds good!
Very cool. Seeing a distillery set up in a church like that makes the Atheist in me very happy for some reason. But idk, maybe if there were more distilleries in churches I would have gone more often. Hahaha
These videos are amazing! Whiskey knowledge with a comedic spin. Looking forward to more!
I live a little over an hour away from the Alltech distillery in Lexington, Kentucky (Town Branch). Was in Dublin a couple months ago, but I wasn't able to see the Pearse Lyons distillery. Thanks for sharing!
Love the double take @ 2:47: don't question me you noob!
I love these. When I was a little kid Dusty's treehouse used to show a how things were made, factory video every Friday. This is just like that.... except with whiskey.
I want the 4 hours and the 4 more hours.
I love these videos. Well done Darren. Now if I can find these in the states, I'll be even happier.
Aha! Subscribed immediately.
Now that I know youre doing faux-snobbery whiskey videos with snark, you instantly get a sub. There goes my timeline!
Darren, I visited the Distillery in March of this year. The sampling (flight) was good but clearly the Genesis was the best tasting product. I couldn't afford the 200 euro tag so I left it. I did buy a nice hoodie from the shop. Good to see you again. I remember meeting you at the #### whiskey shop a few years ago. Keep up the quality videos.

Loving the vibe of these videos!
Man, I love these. And I agree... we need those 8 hours haha
It’s another awesome whiskey lesson and video.
My new favorite channel! 🎉
Another great video, plus a bottle I've never heard of before! Informative, funny, and the perfect length video. Of course, if you wanted to did more into the history and all that stuff I'd watch that too!
Gráinne!
Micro distilleries have also been popping up in Canada, thanks mostly to a loosening of post-prohibition laws. Canadian oak is seldom used for barrels. The climate is not very conducive for oak and the oak that does grow here is too dense to impart much flavour. Some distillers use maple barrels to "finish" their whisky. It creates a sweeter tasting whisky.
Great job Darren!
Two of my favorite Tryers - this is a win/win! New subscription earned!
Cracking video!
This was a wonderful video. I got into whiskey because of the Try Channel. Love to see people branching out! I hit the subscribe button!

I should add that my favorite whiskey is Redbreast 12 bc of you. (Currently sipping Teeling Blackpits.) You are a great ambassador for whiskey. If you got me to convert, I'm sure you'll convert others.
Ok the soundtrack to these videos has been fantastic. Also HI GRÁINNE!
Brilliant!!!!
Don't Worry About It ! that little distillery is beautiful
What a beautiful place! Someday I hope to visit your fair Isle ✌
This whiskey tastes like whiskey.

Well done, and I'm truly pleased that you aren't just a human torso on some sort of hampster powered steampunk squid thing. Subscribed, with enthusiasm! All the best from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
another great cameo from the weird person your took the purse from LOL
They missed an opportunity by not leaving the baptismal font up and filling it with whiskey…
