Roe & Co, Batch 1, Blended Irish Whiskey (Special)

700 ml, 45.0% abv, Ireland

Roe & Co is a contemporary blend, named to honour the memory of George Roe, whose business helped build the golden era of Irish whiskey in the 19th century. His distillery at Thomas Street in Dublin extended over 17 acres, yet the story of George and his whiskies has largely been lost to history since the distillery closed its gates in 1926. Thanks to a resurgence of interest in Irish whiskey, the Thomas Street area is once again becoming a vibrant hub of brewing and distilling in Dublin, with Roe & Co at its heart. A luxuriously smooth blend with a perfect harmony between the intense fruitiness of the malt and the mellow creaminess of the grain whiskies. The high proportion of first-fill Bourbon casks gives notes of creamy vanilla balanced with hints of fruit and soft spice, and a remarkable depth for such an elegant, refined dram.
