Roe & Co is a contemporary Irish whiskey with a versatile character and a distillery in the heart of Dublin. It’s named in honour of George Roe, a whisky maker who helped usher in the golden era of Irish whiskey in the 19th century.
Launched in 2017, Roe & Co’s first whiskey was created in a collaborative effort between Dublin-based bartenders and master blender Caroline Martin, focused on crafting a whiskey that is at home in a cocktail, on the rocks or served neat. It is a whiskey perfected by bartenders, to be enjoyed in bars and at home.
Meet Lora Hemy Roe & Co Master Distiller
A former DJ and sound engineer, Lora Hemy went back to school to study brewing and distilling at Edinburgh’s Heriot-Watt University after discovering her love for perfumery and whisky. After graduating, Hemy worked with a number of new build distillery projects, developing her skills and putting together recipes for whiskies, gins and more. Joining the team at Roe & Co before the distillery had a working set of stills, Hemy has maintained her ethos of attention to detail at every stage of the process, sourcing top-quality raw materials to give the spirit the best start possible.
Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey
A complex and adaptable blended Irish whiskey, Roe & Co is made with a hand-selected blend of malt and grain whiskies from across Ireland, married in American oak ex-bourbon casks.
The nose brings a medley of vanilla and spice, with aromas of custard tarts, grated nutmeg, lemon zest, peach, pear and pineapple cubes. The palate echoes the creamy vanilla, followed by ripe orchard fruits, mangoes, tart lemons, fruit gums and malty biscuits, fading to leave lingering hints of pear skins, green apple and whipped cream on the finish.
Roe & Co Sour
Vibrant and characterful, this whiskey is sure to excel in a wide range of cocktails, from the classics to more modern mixes. Why not start with Roe & Co’s take on the classic Whiskey Sour?

About Roe & Co
Named in honour of George Roe & Co, one of the biggest Irish whiskey producers of the 19th century, Roe & Co pays tribute to the historic Thomas Street distillery that closed its gates in 1926. As George Roe & Co was a neighbour of Guinness, it is only fitting that the new distillery on James Street, Dublin, sits across from the Guinness Storehouse and Brewery, keeping old friends close.
The distillery opened in 2019 and is equipped to work with a lot of different mash bills, spirit styles and distillation techniques, perfect for crafting delicious, creative whiskey. From the ground up, the distillery was designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating contemporary technologies to help reduce waste and emissions, such as fixed cooling loops that reduce the amount of water used in production.
