Irish Whiskey & Guinness = New Neighbors Campaign in Time for the Holidays

Roe & Co Teams Up with Guinness for New Neighbors Campaign in Time for the Holidays

It’s no secret that good neighbors make for good times, and this year, the need for connection has been at an all time high, leading to a resurgence in people reconnecting with their neighbors. In that spirit, Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey has teamed up with Guinness – the distillery’s real-life Dublin neighbor – to release new brand spots that showcase the importance of local communities coming together now more than ever before.

Starting this month, Roe & Co will be launching the “Neighbors” campaign across social media. The creative will consist of two spots, each highlighting the Irish Whiskey’s ties to Guinness, while celebrating their status as both new and old neighbors.

Roe & Co is non-chill filtered and bottled at an ABV of 45 percent (90 proof). In the U.S., the Irish Whiskey can currently be purchased in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Washington, D.C. but will also be expanding into the Illinois and Ohio markets at the beginning of 2021.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the brand, Roe & Co is a contemporary blend that is inspired by the once world-famous George Roe & Co Distillery in Dublin. Using her 30 years of experience, our Master Blender Caroline Martin has created a versatile, premium whiskey. Roe & Co is a luxuriously smooth blend with a perfect harmony between the intense fruitiness of the malt and the mellow creaminess of the grain whiskies.
