Roe & Co Whiskey

In 19th-century Dublin, George Roe's distillery was an industrial giant, one of the city's very largest, long before Irish whiskey went through its long decline. Today his name lives on in a brand-new distillery, built by Diageo in the old Guinness power station in the heart of the city. It's a revival of a name time had nearly forgotten.
