Toast Your Favorite Team with These Football Whiskeys

Football season is off to a roaring start and whiskey brands are getting in on the fun, offering team-branded bottles and game-day festivities. Big names like Jameson and Jim Beam have official NFL partnerships, while Heaven Hill’s Evan Williams is leading the pack in college football with limited-edition bottles celebrating five universities. Regional whisky makers are also showing their team spirit, including Iowa’s Cedar Ridge, Colorado’s Laws Whiskey House, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson’s Woodson Whiskey, which has teamed up with his alma mater, the University of Michigan.

Giants fans might still want to pour this year's Eli Manning Bold Pick from Knob Creek, but there’s also a fresh lineup of football-themed whiskeys to explore. We've rounded up 14 options to toast your favorite team this season.

Launched this month by Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson’s whiskey brand, this limited-edition bourbon celebrates the University of Michigan's 12 national football championship titles from 1901 to 2023.

Since its launch in 2020, the brand has celebrated several milestones close to the founder's heart. In April, it released a commemorative 6 year old bourbon honoring Michigan’s 2026 national championship in basketball.
