    in a prepared statement. “Building on this success, now we’re taking experimentation one step further and looked to deepen the blend between whiskey and stout. Focusing only on stout, this year’s Cask & Keg release is the result of the 11-month finishing of Roe & Co’s blend 106 in barrels which previously matured coffee infused stout.

    “The result is a coffee stout finish with undertones of cream soda, subtle soft wood spice and tropical fruit.”

    Roe & Co Cask & Keg Coffee Stout Cask Finish is available in limited quantities and can be purchased for €60 at the distillery or Irish merchants. Official tasting notes are below for this 46% ABV expression.

    Nose: Creamy vanilla, hints of chocolate coated honeycomb, sweet caramel, cacao, fruity confectionary candied ginger and tropical fruit background of distant dried mango and hessian sacks.

    Taste/palate: Full bodied smooth slow drip coffee and sweet hard toffee/tablet and a very slight hint of molasses with some fruit there behind the freshly ground coffee/toffee notes – pineapple and pear, cream soda and subtle gentle herbal/soft wood spice – thyme, allspice, mace.
