Roe & Co Irish Whiskey 70cl
Pour this and the first thing you get is creamy vanilla and soft orchard pear, smooth as anything but with real backbone behind it. It's bottled at a generous 45%, so it gives you something to chew on without ever turning harsh. This is your easy yes for a Friday: sip it slow while the nyama choma's still on the grill, or splash it long when the night gets going. Versatile, friendly, and frankly a bit underrated.
The nose pulls you in with creamy vanilla, ripe pear and a little caramel, with a whisper of honey and gentle spice underneath. On the palate it's silky and rounded. Think vanilla custard, soft orchard fruit, then a warming kick of ginger, cinnamon and a dab of white pepper that keeps it interesting. It's left non-chill filtered, so the texture stays full and a touch oily in the best way. The finish is long and gently spicy, vanilla and oak fading slow.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This one's a love letter to George Roe, a Dublin distiller whose operation in the Liberties was once the biggest in Europe before it shut its gates in the 1920s. All that's left of the old place is a windmill tower and a single pear tree that still blossoms. Diageo brought the name back in 2017, with master blender Caroline Martin building this blend of malt and grain whiskeys, mostly in first-fill bourbon casks. They later opened a working Roe & Co distillery in an old Guinness power house nearby. Modern whiskey, proper Dublin roots.
