X Notre Dame Small Batch Irish Whiskey 2026 Limited Edition

About

Teeling and Notre Dame have partnered on this limited-edition small batch, bringing together Dublin's most innovative whisky distillery with a storied American university. The blend marries grain and malt whiskeys aged separately in ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in Central American rum casks—a choice that imparts a distinctly sweet, tropical character. The nose reveals vanilla, raisin, and allspice with delicate floral notes. The palate unfolds with roasted caramel and toffee, layered with the warm spice of the rum-cask finish. The finish is smooth and lingering, the rum influence providing a gentle heat that lingers pleasantly. This 2026 release appeals to collectors and Notre Dame fans alike, but equally rewards those seeking a refined, unconventional take on Irish whiskey. Bottled at 46% ABV.
