Roe & Co Distillery Experiences

AMAZING experience, highly recommended if you are visiting Dublin. The guide was fab (Tim) so knowledgeable and warm, the tour was taken in a small group which made it more personable. I’m not a whiskey drinker but converted. A lovely addition to our day out ❤️

Issac was amazing. A great small tour. Very informative great interaction 10/10 Fabulous bar at turned a perfect end to a great tour.

The distillery and tour were lovely and so was the staff although our tour guide was unhelpful and sfaccato and delivered the fascinating information in a bored and deadpan way.

Staff were super friendly, Kelly was very engaging and we learnt lots about the distillery. The cocktails were delicious. It was a great add on after the Guinness tour

A Masterclass in Whiskey Hospitality: An Unforgettable Afternoon at Roe & Co Dublin’s historic Liberties district has no shortage of whiskey heritage, but the Roe & Co Distillery sets a new, contemporary gold standard for the modern guest experience. Housed in the beautifully repurposed, iconic Guinness Power House, this vibrant urban distillery seamlessly fuses architectural industrial chic with world-class hospitality. From the second you cross the threshold, it is entirely evident that this operation values creativity, consumer engagement, and an uncompromising dedication to impeccable customer service. Our visit was anchored by an absolutely superlative distillery tour and interactive workshop led by Isobel, who proved to be an exceptional guide. Her deep technical knowledge of the distillation process was matched only by her infectious enthusiasm and engaging presentation style. Far from a dry recitation of historical dates, Isobel brought the rich narrative of Irish whiskey to life, effortlessly navigating everything from the mechanics of the copper pot stills to the nuances of maturation. The undisputed highlight of the production tour was the hands-on cocktail-making masterclass. Isobel expertly guided us through the foundational mechanics of mixology, explaining how the specific flavor profiles of Roe & Co’s signature premium blended Irish whiskey interact with various components. The balance of the blend—with its rich vanilla smoothness, vibrant pear fruitiness, and subtle spiced undertones—serves as a magnificent canvas for cocktail design. Under her watchful eye, we experimented with flavor balancing, turning premium spirits into bespoke liquid art. The sensory journey reached its peak during the post-tour tasting session in their spectacular, design-forward cocktail lounge. Here, we were served a truly outstanding, custom strawberry-based cocktail crafted with Roe & Co's own blended whiskey. The drink was a revelation: the bright, summer sweetness of the fresh strawberry perfectly complemented the robust, silky grain and malt layers of the whiskey. It was an incredibly sophisticated demonstration of how beautifully a modern Irish blend can elevate contemporary fruit-forward mixology. However, what truly elevates Roe & Co from a great attraction to an unforgettable destination is the peerless quality of its post-tour guest relations. After the tour concluded, we spent time exploring the distillery store, where the incredible customer care continued seamlessly. Grant, the master engraver on-site, provided an outstanding level of personalized service that went far above and beyond expectations. His precision, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine pride in his craft turned a standard retail keepsake into a treasured, highly personalized memento of our journey. Grant’s warmth was mirrored by every single member of the floor and distillery team we encountered throughout the afternoon. Each interaction was characterized by genuine Irish hospitality, effortless professionalism, and a desire to ensure our visit was flawless. For anyone looking to experience the absolute pinnacle of Dublin's modern whiskey renaissance, Roe & Co is a non-negotiable must-visit. Between Isobel’s masterful mixology guidance and Grant’s flawless craftsmanship, this distillery delivers a truly premier, five-star guest experience.
