For the first time, the NFL is coming to Dublin and ahead of the historic first regular-season game in Ireland, Jameson declared itself the "Unofficial Whiskey for Football Fans" and announced a limited-edition Jameson Football Flask. The flask in a novel shape takes the form of a regulation-sized football and has the capacity to hold a 750mL bottle of Jameson Whiskey. Beginning September 25th, the Jameson Football Flask will be available for purchase.
As part of the Unofficial Whiskey for Football Fans platform, Jameson devised new content and experiences for whiskey lovers and football fans alike, including viewing parties, a first-of-its-kind football-inspired capsule collection in partnership with Complex, and a takeover of ESPN studios that will make Jameson the first spirits brand to be promoted via a live commercial on Sportscenter.
