Ireland’s Pearse Lyons Distillery is rolling out its first-ever single cask whiskey series called The Camino Collection. The name is a nod to Ireland’s connection to the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage trek taken by thousands each year in Spain.
The series will feature Irish Single Malt and Irish Pot Still whiskeys, with prices starting at €100.
The distillery said, “The Camino de Santiago, or ‘Way of St. James’ is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that lead to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where tradition holds that the remains of St. James the Greater are buried.”
For more than 1,000 years, pilgrims have traveled these routes for religious, spiritual, cultural, and personal reasons. Today, hundreds of thousands of people walk, cycle, or ride portions of the Camino each year, drawn by its rich history and enduring traditions.
The first expressions available to purchase from Pearse Lyons Distillery in Dublin, Ireland and Town Branch Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky are:
