Sept. 8, 2025 -- TEELING® Irish Whiskey, the Official Irish Whiskey Partner of Notre Dame fans in the United States, is entering its third year of partnership with the Fighting Irish by rolling out a new season of limited-edition products and exclusive gameday fashion for fans and collectors alike.
Available through TeelingWhiskey.com, The Irish Spirit Gameday Jacket Collection, is designed by Garrett James, founder and creative director of Ryoko Rain, whose label has dressed stars including Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton, and Angel Reese. The collection draws inspiration from the TEELING Notre Dame Small Batch bottle and Notre Dame’s storied football legacy, featuring Irish Guard tartan, commemorative banners, and signature Ryoko Rain butterfly motifs. Each jacket celebrates craftsmanship, storytelling, and gameday pride, giving fans a stylish way to honor their Fighting Irish spirit both in the stadium and off the field.
Back for its third year, the TEELING x Notre Dame Small Batch Limited Edition release unites the “World’s Most Awarded” Irish Whiskey with the traditions of the Fighting Irish. This year’s bottle features a gleaming gold capsule inspired by Notre Dame’s iconic football helmets, a label reflecting the team’s away uniform colors of white, gold, and blue, and an embossed ND emblem, making it a true collector’s piece. The Small Batch is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in the Fighting Irish Highball – a refreshing mix of Teeling Irish Whiskey, apple juice, and ginger ale, perfect for a “Teelgate.”
Complementing the Small Batch release, TEELING Irish Whiskey is also launching the second edition of its Phoenix Legends Series, a 16-Year-Old Single Malt finished in Italian Marsala wine casks, commemorating the legendary “Trojan Horse” Green Jersey Game one of Notre Dame football’s most iconic moments. Limited to just 1,500 bottles, this collector’s edition celebrates a historic 49–19 victory over USC and coincides with a decade of Teeling Distillery craftsmanship in Dublin, offering fans and collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of Irish whiskey and college football history.
Fans and collectors can celebrate Notre Dame football and Irish whiskey heritage with these limited-edition releases while enjoying a nod to the bold innovation and craftsmanship that both TEELING Irish Whiskey and Notre Dame Athletics share.
