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.

Harsh, with a saccharine false sweetness; like flavoured vodka rather than an Irish Whiskey- tried on own, with drop of water, and with mixer - poured down the sink
Relatively new whiskey from multinational beverage megacorp and pint price hike enthusiasts Diageo. Picked up a bottle for a surprisingly reasonable 30 Euro at Tesco. Easy drinking, but lacking in complexity, even when price is factored in. Perhaps I'm judging harshly as a Bushmills 10 at the same price last week was light years ahead. Insipid nose - some sugar, honey, faint vanilla and something more medicinal - Play-Doh? Iodine? Red apple and spice on the palate, softer in the finish. So-so.
Loved it
I'm not very good at defining taste, but know what I like. At this price point it's superb so 5* for value for money. Will certainly order again. Very smooth, but still enough power to make it a lovely sipper.
I’m mainly an Islay peat flavoured whisky drinker, so this blended Irish whisky is totally different to what I usually drink but I have to say It is a nice dram with a pleasant ‘nip’ and is followed by a creamy lingering taste. About to buy again.
