Celebrate a legacy of excellence with the Teeling X Notre Dame Small Batch Irish Whiskey Green Jersey Edition 2-Pack. Opening its doors in 2015 as the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years, Teeling Whiskey has partnered with Notre Dame Athletics to honor their shared Irish heritage. This exclusive release draws inspiration from the legendary 1977 "Trojan Horse" Green Jersey Game, a historic milestone for Fighting Irish fans. The striking bottle design features a gleaming gold capsule modeled after Notre Dame's iconic football helmets, a label reflecting the team's white, gold, and blue away uniform colors, and a proudly embossed ND emblem.
The Signature Rum Cask Finish
Beyond its striking collegiate presentation, this expression delivers the award-winning liquid that redefined modern Irish whiskey. The spirit is first aged for up to six years in ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a six-month finishing period in Central American rum casks. Bottled at a robust 46% ABV (92 proof) and presented without chill filtration, this small batch whiskey retains its full natural texture and aromatic oils, resulting in a remarkably creamy and tropical profile that stands out from traditional grain-forward Irish blends.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting floral aroma accompanied by vanilla sweetness, rum-raisin, molasses, and warm baking spices like cinnamon and allspice.
Palate: Incredibly creamy and sweet. Layers of caramel candy and brown sugar quickly give way to dried apricot and raisin, beautifully balanced by a tingling clove and cinnamon spice.
Finish: Long, smooth, and deeply satisfying. Sweet tropical notes linger gracefully alongside a gentle, structured oak tannin and warming spice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the significance of the Green Jersey Edition design? This limited-edition release celebrates the historic 1977 "Trojan Horse" Green Jersey Game. The bespoke packaging pays tribute to Notre Dame with a gold helmet-inspired capsule, a label matching the away uniform colors, and an embossed ND team emblem.
What makes the maturation process of Teeling Small Batch unique? Unlike traditional Irish whiskeys, this blend is aged for up to six years in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred into ex-rum casks for a final six months. This secondary maturation imparts distinct notes of tropical fruit, molasses, and rich brown sugar.
What is the ABV and is it chill-filtered? This whiskey is expertly bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) and is non-chill filtered. Skipping the chill filtration process preserves the whiskey's natural oils and esters, providing a much creamier, thicker mouthfeel and a more robust flavor profile.
