Roe & Co Whiskey Cask Strength 2021 Edition

A 13YO Single Grain with an award-winning finish.

A few years ago in 2015, somewhere in the corporate tower of Diageo — lords of international spirits — some middle management minion came into the star chamber and told the emperor that he had been successful in selling Bushmills Irish Whiskey. To which the dark lord exclaimed… "You did WHAT?!"

OK… we’re only speculating a bit. But with the exploding popularity of Irish Whiskey these days, it’s obvious that Diageo regretted the sale. Roe & Co. Irish Whiskey was released for the first time in March of 2017 to bring a premium Irish Whiskey back into the Diageo portfolio. It’s named after the George Roe & Co that once owned the Thomas Street Distillery in Dublin — the largest in the world at the time. Diageo is planning on building a new Roe & Co. Distillery to support the line, so we believe that a Single Malt is coming as a sequel.

Roe & Co Cask Strength 2021 Edition is the third cask-strength release by Roe & Co. For this award-winning offering, they finished a 13YO Single Grain in Alligator charred new oak. This imparted endless layers of flavor to this expression alongside great depth and complexity. Savor the flavors of treacle toffee, Jamaican gingerbread, lotus biscuit, ripe pear, and banana neat, on the rocks, or make a fancay cocktail.
