Beyond the Blend Tour is WORTH IT!
LOVE LOVE LOVED the Roe & Co's Beyond the Blend tour!! It's such a great value for the money (we bought ours as a combo with the Guinness Storehouse Tour- also highly recommended), and the Roe & Co distillery was our favorite part of the whole experience! Oisin was a great tour guide- very knowledgeable and fun, and of all the bourbon/whiskey/wine tastings we've done over the years across the US/UK, this is by far my favorite! You get three whiskeys to try + a cocktail that they teach you how to make with whiskey that isn't available for retail + confections made by a Michelin star chef who exclusively works for this distillery + a fourth whiskey to try at their bar that's only available in their distillery! It was so much whiskey and fun for the price! I even enjoyed the tour and whiskey so much that it's the only place from my 2-week UK trip that I purchased a full bottle to take home. Cannot recommend this tour and distillery enough!

Excellent.
Excellent visit to a small distillery, in contrast to the big rival on the other side of the River ;)
Our guide, Tim, was friendly and attentive to questions and doubts.
The tasting and mixing part, without a doubt, is essential.
I only missed having visited the barrel area.
In any case, a mandatory experience.

Gets yourselves down to Roe & Coe
Chris was our host.
He was excellent and very engaging.
The tour of the distillery was pitched ro the point without being overbearing.
The cocktail making session was class. I loved that part. This was a Birthday present so it was great
We then went downstairs ro the bar and Chris had a cocktail made for us.
This was nice because we got ro chat to people from different parts of the world.
We have been to Teelings distillery tour but to be honest I found this was better.
Well done Chris. You are a gent.

Lovely distillery (but poor guide)
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.

Five star experience at Roe and Co
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.
Operator response
Ah sure, thanks a million for such an incredible and thoughtful review Alan! ❤️ Reading your experience truly made our day.
A huge shoutout to Isobel and Grant—we'll be absolutely delighted to share your wonderful words with them. It's fantastic to hear that Isobel's knowledge and passion brought the distillery experience to life, and that Grant's craftsmanship and personal touch made your visit even more memorable. Knowing our team's hospitality left such a lasting impression means the world to us.
Thank you for recommending Roe & Co so highly and for capturing what we're all about so beautifully. We can't wait to welcome you back to the Liberties for another unforgettable whiskey adventure.
