Awarded 94 points by Wine Enthusiast, this non-chill filtered blend of single malt and grain whiskeys was developed through 106 separate blend iterations — a process that earned its own dedicated room at the distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 45% (90 Proof)  |  Origin: Dublin 8, Ireland  |  Style: Blended Irish Whiskey (min. 5 years)  |  Distillery: Roe \u0026amp; Co Distillery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoe \u0026amp; Co Distillery sits in The Liberties, one of Dublin's oldest neighborhoods and a historic center of Irish whiskey production. Owned by Diageo, the brand revives the legacy of George Roe, whose distillery on Thomas Street was once among the largest in the world. The whiskey is triple distilled in the classic Irish tradition, blending pot still single malt with high-quality grain whiskeys, all matured entirely in former bourbon American oak casks — the majority of which are first fill. Non-chill filtration preserves the full body and texture of the spirit. The final blend was selected after 106 attempts by the distillery's master blender working alongside five Dublin-based bartenders, resulting in a whiskey engineered to perform both neat and in cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried orchard fruit and banana chips lead into vanilla frosting and birthday cake sweetness.

The non-chill filtration gives it a notably creamy texture that sets it apart from many blended Irish whiskeys in its range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Roe \u0026amp; Co compare to Jameson?\u003c\/strong\u003e Roe \u0026amp; Co is bottled at a higher 45% ABV versus Jameson's standard 40%, and it uses non-chill filtration, resulting in a fuller body and more pronounced malt character. Diageo has positioned Roe \u0026amp; Co as occupying a distinctly different space from Jameson, leaning more toward spice and fruit complexity rather than Jameson's lighter, more neutral grain profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Roe \u0026amp; Co good for cocktails?\u003c\/strong\u003e Roe \u0026amp; Co was explicitly developed in collaboration with five Dublin-based bartenders alongside Diageo's master blender, specifically to hold its own in mixed drinks. The higher proof and non-chill filtered body prevent it from getting lost under citrus, bitters, or sweeteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Roe \u0026amp; Co made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Roe \u0026amp; Co is produced at the Roe \u0026amp; Co Distillery in The Liberties, Dublin 8, Ireland — a neighborhood with deep roots in Irish whiskey history.

Its 94-point Wine Enthusiast score, 45% ABV, and non-chill filtered production make it a strong value within that mid-premium tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Roe \u0026amp; Co?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 106-blend development process, conducted in partnership with working bartenders, is not a marketing footnote — it produced a whiskey with measurable critical recognition, including 94 points from Wine Enthusiast. The combination of non-chill filtration, first-fill bourbon cask maturation, and a higher 45% ABV gives Roe \u0026amp; Co a textural and flavor density uncommon among blended Irish whiskeys at its price tier. It bridges a real gap in the Irish category: approachable enough for neat sipping, robust enough to anchor a cocktail without needing to be heavy-handed with the pour. For drinkers who find standard blends too thin but aren't ready to commit to single pot still prices, this Dublin bottling occupies a well-defined and defensible position.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roe \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837854216361,"sku":"33416","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Roe-_Co-Irish-Whiskey__65674.jpg?v=1730497881"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/roe-co.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
