Teeling x Notre Dame 17 Year Old Single Malt — Phoenix Legends No. 3 "Game of the Century"
Irish Single Malt Whiskey, Moscatel Cask Finish, Limited Edition of 1,500 Bottles
Teeling Whiskey, the Official Irish Whiskey Partner of Notre Dame fans, presents the third release in its Phoenix Legends series: a 17 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey celebrating the legendary 1988 "Game of the Century." In that matchup, underdog Notre Dame held on for a one-point win over top-ranked Miami by batting down a potential game-winning two-point conversion in the end zone, a moment fans still celebrate to this day.
The whiskey is a 17 year old single malt matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in Moscatel wine casks, bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and presented in a decanter-style bottle. Only 1,500 bottles were produced, each presented in an elegant display box with a luxurious liner and a bespoke certificate with an original illustration detailing the legacy of the game-winning block. The box reflects Fighting Irish gold, and together the three Phoenix Legends releases form a trinity in the team's iconic blue, green and gold.
Tasting Notes
Honeyed fruit and vanilla from the ex-bourbon casks, layered with the sweet, floral dried fruit character of the Moscatel finish, with a smooth, lingering finish from 17 years of maturation.
