Teeling x Notre Dame Whiskey Returns Just in Time for Football Season
On Monday, Teeling Irish Whiskey and the University of Notre Dame have released the second edition of their Small Batch collaboration, a limited bottling that blends Irish whiskey with the school’s athletic traditions.
The 2025 Teeling x Notre Dame Small Batch release features Teeling’s standard Small Batch liquid but in a new design. The bottle has a gold capsule inspired by Notre Dame’s football helmets, a label in the team’s away colors of white, gold and blue, and an embossed ND emblem.
The whiskey carries a suggested retail price of $34.99 and is bottled at 46% ABV. It is aged up to six years in ex-bourbon casks before finishing six months in rum casks.
The collaboration stems from a multi-year partnership between Teeling and Notre Dame Athletics. The series is positioned as a celebration of Irish heritage and college football culture.
Teeling first launched a Notre Dame-themed Small Batch bottling in 2024. Last fall, the brand also debuted a 24-year-old Phoenix Series release honoring the 100th anniversary of Notre Dame’s first national championship.
The Teeling x Notre Dame Small Batch Irish Whiskey is now rolling out in the U.S. market.
