The Castle Collection is a very special range of pipes created by Peterson of Dublin to honor four of the Emerald Isle's most famous castles. The beautiful and generously sized bent brandy before you is named after the Birr castle, a stalwart and beautiful structure that has stood since the 11th century. Far from being content with simply being an important and historic edifice, the Birr castle also houses an important telescope as well as the world's oldest example of a photographic "dark room". Peterson has always had a knack for creating fascinating series.
