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.

Ratings & Reviews
Member Reviews and Ratings of Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey
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.
Kevin
Kevin,
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

Super sweet smell. Definitely feel the spice in the tongue but not overwhelming. Kind of sweet and nutty flavor going down.

Mild flavor but a surprise spice

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

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.

If you like non-peaty varieties, this is a great one.

Good smell. Goes down smooth. Slight burn in mouth. Tastes of slight vanilla. Not as much flavor as I'd like.

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

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.

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.

Smooth. Can taste the caramel and fruit but only subtlety.
 
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
