Teeling Notre Dame Small Batch Irish Whiskey Limited Edition 2026
92 proof (46% ABV) | 750mL | Limited Edition 2026 | Rum cask finish — the Teeling X Notre Dame Small Batch is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Dublin's Teeling Whiskey Distillery and the University of Notre Dame: Teeling's award-winning Small Batch Irish whiskey, dressed in collectible Fighting Irish packaging with two gold-filled Notre Dame logo engravings on the bottle.
Built on the classic Teeling Small Batch foundation — triple-distilled, non-chill filtered, matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in rum casks — this 2026 release layers vanilla sweetness and orchard fruit over gentle spice and a whisper of rum-barrel richness. Expect floral notes, vanilla, rum raisin, and allspice on the nose; a creamy palate of vanilla, dried fruit, raisin, and apricot with warming spice; and a long, warming finish of lingering sweetness, oak, and soft fruit. A natural gift for Notre Dame alumni, Fighting Irish fans, and Irish whiskey collectors — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
