the beer revolu wrote: » I think I might know where this idea comes from. Originally they wanted to put a breakdown of a blend on the label. Eg. 50% 3 year old grain , 40% 8 year old malt and 10% 10 year old rye. (made up figures as an example) This wasn't allowed as you can't mention 10 year old whiskey on the label unless the youngest component is 10 years old.

Meanwhile I’m sipping a good ole reliable bottle of Wild Turkey Rarebreed... also got some Lustau edition Redbreast on the go. Like cheese and chalk but lovely in their own ways.

Press release below: December 2020: Behind the doors of The Roe & Co Distillery, in the heart of Dublin’s whiskey district, something magical has been happening over the last several months. A marriage of sorts between Cask and Keg. Given this was once the Guinness Power Station, it was a matter of time before real-life neighbours Guinness Open Gate Brewery and Roe & Co came together to create something truly special. This December, they’re ready to share their latest innovative releases with the island of Ireland. Partnering with the Guinness Open Gate Brewery – a true hub of innovation – Roe & Co aimed to showcase the best of the Dublin 8 neighbourhood by creating two unique expressions of whiskey and two experimental beers. Testing and experimenting to see what would happen next in the world of flavour surrounding beer and whiskey, Roe & Co’s Master Blender, Caroline Martin, collaborated with the Head Brewer at Guinness Open Gate Brewery, Peter Simpson, to create something truly unique, based on the reaction between these products. The process which took place, startedwith the two beers, which Caroline chose, Citra IPA and Antwerpen Stout, which were aged in Roe & Co Irish whiskey casks to create two unique and brilliant whiskey finished beers. Roe & Co blended Irish whiskey was then filled back into these same casks within 24 hours of the beer being disgorged, to rest and react with the wood to deliver two very magical beer cask finished whiskeys. One influenced by Guinness Citra IPA and one influenced by Guinness Antwerpen Stout. Producing Roe & Co Cask & Keg collaboration, with two unique variants of Irish Whiskey from Roe & Co – a Citra IPA cask finished Roe & Co. blended Irish whiskey (€85) and an Antwerpen Stout cask finished Roe & Co blended Irish whiskey (€85). Cask & Keg whiskey Tasting Notes: Citra IPA cask finished Roe & Co. blended Irish whiskey. Through finishing our signature blend in Guinness Citra IPA casks, this whiskey now reveals notes of citrus sherbet, apricot jam, grapefruit peel and white peach. Antwerpen Stout cask finished Roe & Co blended Irish whiskey. Through finishing our signature blend in Guinness Antwerpen stout casks, this whiskey now reveals notes of honeycomb, burnt molasses, coffee, cocoa and chocolate-covered liquorice. Roe & Co Cask & Keg, Distillery exclusive whiskeys can be bought individually at €85 or as a giftset retailing at €95 for one bottle of the chosen whiskeys and four beers (Two of each finish). Available from 16th December, purchased through www.shop.roeandcowhiskey.com
