Diageo redeems themselves with a real-deal Irish Whiskey… May the Dram Be With You.
 
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. 
 
First, let’s just say it out loud… Diageo knows the spirits business as well as anyone, and this is a solid initial offering right out of the gate. It’s a blend in all the right ways. Diageo put one of their best people on it — master blender Jedi-Knight of Whiskey, Caroline Martin. And it’s aged exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks — most first-fill — and bottled at an almost perfect 45% ABV. Spot on flavor and texture. We think that this Irish Whiskey is a bargain and that it will likely sell for more in coming years as the public awakens to the new brand.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey
William
William,
Good find. Elevated for the $
 
William
William,
I'm not a big Irish Whiskey fan. For me I'm at a 4.5 with it. But would be curious to see what this does with more age on it.
 
William
William,
This is a good Irish, but a bit bland. It mixes well, but only because it isn't really assertive. It's nice at this price and I wouldn't turn it down, but unless you just demand smooth, there's better. I'm curious if there's going to be some singles out of Roe, which would be interesting.
 
Craig
Craig,
Liked this well enough upon first sampling. Upon second sampling - WOW! Smooth, with notes of caramelly, vanilla sweetness (but not too sweet). Rapidly becoming one of my favorite Irish whiskeys.
 
Julius
Julius,
Very sweet! Easy drinking but still has some decent flavors to chew on. After a surprisingly mellow intro, hints of powdered sugar and vanilla linger. Definitely worth a try if you come across a bottle!
 
Steven
Steven,
Loved it! Only negative is that the bottle is too small and it’s hard to find.
 
Craig
Craig,
This is a very good Irish whiskey. Pronounced aroma of vanilla. I detected notes of spice, generalized sweetness, vanilla, and pear/peach. Smooth, warming finish. I like it - very much!
 
Craig
Craig,
Very nice Irish whiskey. Strong aroma of vanilla. Prominent notes of vanilla, spice, and fruit. I detected hints of peach along with the pear as described. Smooth and warming on the finish. A very good value.
 
Michael
Michael,
A very clean and sippable Irish.
 
Taimur
Taimur,
You get that subtle hint of pralines and biscuits, I love it!
 
Michael
Michael,
Surprisingly robust for an Irish whiskey! Strong vanilla and charred crepe brûlée sugar with a nice touch of toasted buttered whole grain bread. Just a touch of toasted coconut as well. Overall, my new favorite Irish Whiskey!
 
Nathan
Nathan,
This was the standout in what I tasted. I was able to pick up most of the flavors and generally enjoyed it. Amazed it was so good compared to the others at much higher price points.

A beautiful whiskyđŸ“‰
 
Andrew
Andrew,
The vanilla, cream and pear flavors are quite nice. Great whiskey at this price point
 
Michael
Michael,
Light and sweet as far as whiskeys go. Has a subtle note of fruit such as pear/apple. Goes great with a cigar as a decent contrasting flavor.
 
Casey
Casey,
It is a good Irish whiskey. It was different than expected but the vanilla flavor is fantastic. One time buy.
 
Juan
Juan,
Power to vanilla!! Very sweet
 
Kirk
Kirk,
Excellent Irish Whiskey! Very creamy flavor.
 
chris
chris,
This is my favorite Whiskey, I only wish I could buy it local.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
Very flavorful, I definitely enjoyed it
 
Robert
Robert,
Very good Irish whiskey with class. Good on the nose and feisty taste. Hope Flaviar will add curators cask and cask strength
 
Spencer
Spencer,
Heavy on alcohol, probably good in an Irish coffee and cake.
 
Leslie
Leslie,
I wrote my initial review soon after receiving this bottle. After tasting, particularly the notes of pear, I have changed my mind and decided that this is definitely worth having in my home bar.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Straight: The spicyness overwhelms everything else. There is a hint of creaminess. On ice:. Spice is subdued, vanilla and sweetness come through. Much smoother!
 
Robert
Robert,
Better with every time. Great on the nose. Can Flaviar get the cask strength as well?
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Like the vanilla nose, but the flavor is a little harsh
 
Krissy
Krissy,
Tried some cocktails at the distillery in Ireland in October 2019 - excellent blend that suited itself for cocktails, but on its own? A little rough - but pleasant enough. Would try again!
 
Leslie
Leslie,
Too much spice and alcohol drowns out the vanilla and pear. Poor quality price ratio - won’t be in my home bar. I’ll stick with Black Barrel
Westlee
Westlee,
Black Barrel is a favorite - Proper Twelve probably the best value ratio on the low end if you like to drink it neat.
Scott
Scott,
I really enjoyed this Irish Whiskey
 
Denny
Denny,
I tried this whiskey in the airport last year as a sample, i never had whiskey before and it was good, didn’t have an after taste, very smooth, taste like a cocktail

Kyle
Kyle,
7 stars for an Irish Whiskey good enough to sip neat or to make in a Irish, Ginger, & Lime.
 
Audrey
Audrey,
We love Yellow Spot - this is a strong contender as a replacement, especially at this price point. Definitely an Irish with the late after burn, but not as strong as some Irish. Incredibly creamy and vanilla forward, didn't pick up spice, but did on the fruit, caramel, and sweetness (but not too sweet). Tried it with a cube and it ruined it. Best neat. Adding to our bar most definitely, and incredibly drinkable at the price.

Wow. It hits you hard right out of the gate. Once I put a splash of water in, it settled down a bit. Very spicy on the front and a bit sweet on the back. Interesting whiskey
 
Michael

Pretty good Irish whiskey, has a little but spice in the flavor which is unexpected and refreshing because it has a sweet smell.

A very nice whiskey from the Emerald Isle. Not too sweet, not too spicy; a note of vanilla up front. A pleasant, light-bodied spirit overall. Very enjoyable. Will buy again.

Barely any flavor going on here. There's a slight creaminess to it but that's about it. No fruit or honey, no woods, not much, but a shitty alcohol taste. At first taste there's the cream, that quickly fades to nothing, but a flavorless burn. Beautiful looking bottle though, good to just throw up on the bar for decor, maybe good in mixed drinks, but I'd never know. Cheapish end of the spectrum- I'm surprised about all the good reviews... maybe I got a bad batch- tasted and smelled like straight medical antiseptic, aged for approximately twenty minutes... don't let the bottle & price seduce you, better off with just about any other Irish.
 
Michael
Michael,
Solid 7-8. Aroma is deceptive, almost a turpentine smell, but the flavor is excellent. Vanilla, smooth, easy on the palate.
 
Lennart
Lennart,
Sweet Dreams! Really enjoyed this one.
 
Jonathan
Jonathan,
Damn good. Tasted it out of the 'blended not stirred' sample pack. I would describe it as more of a golden appearance than amber. Subtle smell. The flavor was smooth vanilla with the right amount of spice. Great finish with a solid warmth.
 
Jose
Jose,
Really good
 
Katelyn
Katelyn,
Bond’s taste is as fine as his looks. This box is full of flavors that lure you closer. There’s a journey from the way the Roe & Co Irish Whiskey hugged your tongue to the sweet softness of the Hedonism Scotch.
 
Meg
Meg,
Love the spice with the hint of sweet!
 
John
John,
creamy sweet with just a hint of spice
 
Joe
Joe,
Just the right amount of sweet and heat. Truly enjoyed this whiskey. Will be adding this to my bar.

A little harsh, but delicious.
 
Mark
Mark,
Tasted too much like maples syrup
 
James
James,
First smells of vanilla, cinnamon & lavender. Mild fruity but spicy aftertaste. Decent but won’t be adding a full bottle to my collection
 
Amanda
Amanda,
Decent blended whiskey. Not as many layers as I wouldve thought; very prominent in vanilla and spice, I can't pick up much else. nice finish, although more like a very hot finish. It's nice, but I don't think I would buy again .
 
Christopher
Christopher,
Great flavor, nice warmth. Very cozy whiskey
 
Martin
Martin,
Soft and creamy on the nose. A sweet spice opening with with subtle hits of fruit in the background. A short ending. A reminder of Christmastime. A nice whiskey to have on hand for an evening sipping or to share with friends. Great for new drinkers and easy on the wallet.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Stronger spicy flavor than I expected. Not bad, not special by comparison.
 
guest

Good after dinner dram.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is an outstanding, creamy, Irish whiskey with a strong birth, while a spicy life leads to a delicate death.

Vanilla and honey
 
Mark
Mark,
I lean towards scotch but this Irish whiskey was quite nice. On the sweet side but had more kick/character than Jameson
 
Scott
Scott,
Not quite as smooth as a premium scotch but plenty smooth for me. Definitely taste the vanilla. I wish the nose was a bit more pleasant & had a softer finish.
 
Nick
Nick,
Smooth and sweet, whilst giving a nice kick
 
Brian
Brian,
Smooth. Can taste the caramel and fruit but only subtlety.
 
Mathew
Mathew,
Light and slightly sweet, hints of apple and pear. Big spicy finish.
 
Michael
Michael,
A fine whiskey indeed - the caramel and the syrup make it smooth and sweet while it still maintains a spicy character of whiskey. Worth a bottle for sure.

Good Irish whiskey but a bit on the boozy side with the finish
