Savour a delightful blend of two worlds with Roe & Co’s Cask & Keg, Coffee Stout Finish. This rare, premium blend hails from the innovative Cask & Keg small batch release series. It stands as a testament to the harmonious collaboration between Roe & Co Irish whiskey and The Guinness Open Gate Brewery, two historical landmarks of Dublin 8. This unique alliance has led to the creation of a whiskey with an exceptional flavour profile, truly emblematic of their combined expertise and craftsmanship in the art of brewing and distilling.
Each sip of this extraordinary whiskey unfolds like a story, immersing you in an opulent world of flavours. The nose entices with its creamy vanilla, accentuated by the tempting hints of chocolate-coated honeycomb, sweet caramel, and cacao. The complexity deepens with fruity confectionery notes, the spiciness of candied ginger, and an exotic tropical fruit background that hints at dried mango and hessian sacks.
Your palate is then treated to a smooth, slow drip coffee sensation melded perfectly with the sweetness of hard toffee and a gentle touch of molasses. The coffee notes gracefully make way for subtler flavours, as notes of pineapple, pear, and cream soda emerge, punctuated by the faint herbal and soft wood spices of thyme, allspice, and mace.
The experience concludes with a lingering finish of creamy vanilla and hazelnut, beautifully rounded with a gentle touch of subtle roasted malt and coffee grounds acidity. This distinct flavour journey creates a whiskey that is as layered and evocative as the history of its makers.
