Roe & Co Killahora Curators Series 0.2, 0.7l, alc. 46% by volume

Roe & Co traces its roots to George Roe, once a world-renowned whiskey distiller who was instrumental in bringing Irish whiskey to a truly golden age in the 19th century. Not only was the George Roe & Co distillery Ireland's largest whiskey exporter, it was also the direct neighbor of the Guinness brewery, the other big top dog in Dublin's historic brewery and distillery district. Because of Prohibition in America and cheaper competition from Scotland, the traditional distillery had to close in 1926.

Roe & Co matured in ex-bourbon casks for an undefined period of time and then received a post-maturation in apple aperitif casks. Bottled at 46 vol. % alcohol, not chill filtered.

Aroma: Deeply fruity with sweet fruit notes, sweet caramel, grainy grain and dry oak.
