Roe & Co Cask Strength 2021 is a 13-year-old single grain Irish whiskey. What sets this apart is the finish in new oak casks with a so-called Alligator char. These casks have been heat treated to such an extent that the wood resembles the texture similar to the skin of an alligator. Roe & Co is named after George Roe & Co, whose 19th century distillery in Dublin was once one of the largest in the world. The new distillery at St. James’s Gate opened only in 2019 and is owned by Diageo.
