Released in March 2017, Roe & Co blended Irish whiskey marks Diageo's return to the Irish whiskey category having sold Bushmills a couple of years earlier. Roe & Co is bottled at 45% abv without chill filtration and is a blend of single malt and grain whiskeys matured exclusively in bourbon casks (a high proportion of which are first-fill).
Creamy, delightfully fragrant and remarkably rounded with notes of soft spice and mellow spun sugar along with warm hints of woody vanilla.
The quality and perfect balance of the blend is immediately apparent on the palate through its velvety texture and sweet flavours including spiced pears and vanilla.
Lingering and gentle, ending with a light creaminess.
Excellent whiskey !!! Beautiful !!! its everything the producers notes say it is.
Very smooth worth seeking this whiskey out again
Enjoyable! I was unsure what to expect, however on nosing and tasting it has a profile very similar to a bourbon (maybe too much). I believe this comes from the fact that the spirit has given way to the first fill bourbon casks. I would recommend giving it a go for its price. It would be a good bottle to pass about at a summer BBQ.
Bought for the first time last week, i prefer a whiskey that is not peated and has little smoke, this whiskey comes up trumps on both issues, lovely sipping drink, unfortunately half a bottle has gone already, will be certain to buy more.
One of the best Irish against a very reasonable price!
