Roe & Co Irish Whiskey

Bought my first bottle last week. Going to buy my second bottle this week. First off the bottle itself is what caught my eye and I’m glad it did because this is very good whiskey. Consistent with spicy pear and that woody vanilla with a very pleasant creamy finish. This whiskey is only going to get better.

Just spent New Years in Dublin, tried this for the first time, outstanding, excellent taste, brought a bottle back to the states, they will love this stuff over the pond when you export

A very nice whiskey. However Bushmills Black Bush is superior in every way... I will give this a few more years to age and try it again... I think then it will be a really, really nice whiskey.

First taste and purchase on Tuesday
Very nice indeed

I really liked this after thinking I wouldn't. Feels heavier than other blends I've tried which feel thin and don't have as much flavour. Would buy again as it's nice.

This is a great sipping whiskey without having to think to much about the liquid. Not overly complex but there is a lovely pear note from the nose to the finish which evolves and changes and I will buy it again just for that. At this price you can't go wrong.

Compared to other whiskey in this price range, I find that this does little to stand out. A bottle of black bush is far better

Top class whiskey

Very awesome, smooth, many spicy notes, my new favorite.

Was bought this as an Xmas gift, being new to whiskey I'm still learning, especially about what I like and don't. I've been lucky enough to try some amazing whiskey, just last night, by chance, I tried Midleton Very Rare 2016, wow! My go to whisky is Dalmore 15, I also like some full on peat Laphroaig now and again. This for me just didn't smell or taste like whiskey, looking at other reviews I wonder if I had an odd batch. It smelled of alcohol, almost like smelling vodka, and then the taste....Wasn't offensive, but wasn't of anything either. Don't know what to do with this stuff, never going to drink it.

Excellent whiskey !!! Beautiful !!! its everything the producers notes say it is.

Very smooth worth seeking this whiskey out again

29th March 2018

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!

I really like Irish whiskeys, they are nearly always beautifully smooth, & silky, the older the smoother, this whiskey is up there , nut sweet, hint of bourbon, & strong, gorgeous on the rocks with a slice of lime.

I am a Speyside single malt devotee, so this would need to be something special - and (for a blended) it is. Honey butteriness on the tongue, vanilla and a wisp of oakiness. Warming and not harsh. Drunk with a single cube of ice, let melt to reduce the temperature and dilute.
Good at any time of the year, it will hit a peak for Christmas, with its subtle flavours that create thoughts of pudding and mince pies (which my wife and I ate at the time of the second glass). My mother would bake our Christmas cake and prick it and rub whisky over it - this would have been divine.
I like to offer guests a choice of whiskey so this would have a place on my table with other brands.

For the same price there are better Whiskeys. Poor entry by Diageo. I expect better from them in future. Slane is a better mixed blend in my opinion at this price point

As a peat and smoke fan I anticipated needing a bottle of coke. Was pleasantly surprised by how smooth this blend is, sweeter than most and warmly mellow. Difficult not to like if this is what you are looking for.

12th October 2017

I was pleasantly surprised by this and ended up buying a second bottle!

12th October 2017

Tried it in my local pub and had to have a bottle to test it properly

12th September 2017

Literally the worst whiskey I have ever had. It tastes like vodka mixed with a bit of whiskey.

8th September 2017

Hello,

Our current stock is all from Batch 1 but that is not to say the next lot of stock we receive will be the same!

Are the bottles in the offer from 'Batch 1'?

Doesnt taste like whiskey to me, more like a variation on a flavored schnapps or other liqueur, with a hint of whiskey. If you're expecting this shock then its not bad at all. There's a lot of light fruit flavour in it, pear in particular and I would love to know how they got that without infusing it with some botanicals.

For me, its definitely a whiskey for mixing, mainly because if its fruity, almost liqueur taste. Looking forward to trying it out in some cocktails but I wont be drinking much of it neat and as i like my whiskey neat, I probably wouldn't get another bottle

10th July 2017

Loved it, very smooth and easy on the palate...

19th May 2017

But actually it's pretty good stuff, and for the money it's great. Nice one Diageo.
