Roe & Co 70cl+ Walkers whisky truffles

Roe & Co Irish Whiskey – Details & History

• Origin & Heritage: Roe & Co is a relatively new blended Irish whiskey launched by Diageo in 2017, but it revives the legacy of the original George Roe distillery in Thomas Street, Dublin — with roots going back to the 19th-century, and the original distillery closing in 1926.
• Composition: A blend of rich malt and smooth grain whiskies, matured predominantly in American bourbon barrels. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 45% ABV.
• Craft & Purpose: Developed in collaboration with Dublin bartenders and Master Blender Caroline Martin to be versatile — excellent neat, with mixers, or in cocktails. A whiskey that balances flavour, smoothness and mixability.

Walkers Whisky Truffles – Details

Accolades & Reviews

• Roe & Co has been well-received by critics. The Whisky Exchange describes its nose as “a medley of vanilla and spice, custard tarts … lemon zest, peach, pear and pineapple cubes”, and the palate echoing creamy vanilla, orchard fruits, malty biscuits etc.
• In Imbibe Magazine, Roe & Co was featured as “Drink of the Week” in 2025, praised for its balance of fruitiness from malt, creaminess from grain whiskies, and lingering layers of spice & vanilla.
• Distillery honours: Roe & Co Distillery was awarded Visitor Attraction of the Year and Brand Innovator of the Year at the Icons of Whisky Awards 2025.

Walkers Whisky Truffles are often praised by chocolate lovers and whisky dessert enthusiasts for their luxurious finish and authentic whisky character, though there are no widely documented awards specific to the truffles themselves. Oaks & Corks

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

• Serve Roe & Co neat, over a large ice cube, or in classic cocktails such as Irish Coffee, highballs (whiskey & soda or tonic), or gently stirred evening drinks. Its vanilla, spice and orchard fruit notes shine through.
• Enjoy the truffles with a small sip of whiskey just after a bite: chocolate tempers the spice, the whisky lifts the cocoa. Also lovely with espresso or dessert wines.
• Occasion: ideal for gifting, romantic dinner treats, or indulgence after dinner. This gift set sits well among our Gifts collection or Snacks / Chocolate offerings at Oaks & Corks. (See e.g. our Snacks & Chocolate category or browse more whiskey + chocolate pairings.)
