Meet The Maker with Roe & Co’s Lora Hemy
REPLAY NOW AVAILABLE AT BASE OF PAGE
Roe & Co Distillery is a revitalized brand (and now distillery) owned and operated by Guinness parent company, Diageo.
It is located on Thomas Street in Dublin across the street from St. James’ Gate brewery. The Guinness team took an old power station and regenerated it to be a new visitor experience and urban distillery.
Roe & Co is a legacy brand that dates back to the 18th century. Once the largest distillery in either Britain or Ireland, George Roe & Co helped build the golden era of Irish whiskey in the 19th century. George Roe’s distillery extended over 17 city center acres.
As neighbors for hundreds of years, George Roe & Co and Guinness were the two biggest names at the heart of Dublin’s historic brewing and distilling quarter and amongst the biggest employers in the city.
Production at the new distillery started in the first half of 2019.
Diageo resurrected the original brand and launched a non-chill filtered, premium blended whiskey which was aged in bourbon barrels under the name “Roe & Co” in March 2017 as a forerunner to their own-distilled Irish whiskey (recently released) and Lora will share with us her vision for the spirits under her stewardship.
Don't miss this chance to put your own questions directly to Lora and learn more about Roe & Co's approach to Irish whiskey making.
