Type: Irish Whiskey

Bottler: Diageo

ABV: 46%

Score: 92 Points

This whisky is the result of a collaboration between Diageo’s Roe & Co. distillery in Dublin and the neighboring Guinness Open Gate brewery, which supplied coffee stout beer casks to finish Roe & Co’s whiskey. The nose has touches of roasted coffee bans, fresh fruits, butterscotch, honey, and toasted oak. The taste is well-balanced with hints of coffee, cinnamon, clove, fresh fruits, toasted oak, and honey. The finish is long with subtle spices and a hint of coffee beans. (October, 2022)
