Whiskey Hits the Green with Style
Bushmills and Malbon Golf launch a limited capsule collection blending Irish heritage with modern golf style, inspired by the North Coast.
A meeting of heritage and contemporary flair unfolds on Ireland’s storied North Coast, as Bushmills Irish Whiskey and Malbon Golf present a new limited-edition capsule collection.
Launching today, 17 July, the collaboration is steeped in the rugged charm of County Antrim and released to coincide with The Open at Royal Portrush, just moments from the iconic Old Bushmills Distillery.
This second partnership between the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery and the cult-favourite golf apparel brand is an ode to place, tradition and craftsmanship.
The result is a considered collection of garments and lifestyle accessories, each bearing the Bushmills x Malbon emblem.
At the core of the collection lies a contemporary reimagining of traditional County Antrim plaid. Long associated with both Irish textile heritage and the sartorial history of golf.
The pattern has been updated through Malbon’s design lens, creating a visual thread that connects the windswept links of Royal Portrush with the refined, fruit-led profile of a Bushmills dram, shared among friends after a round.
“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Malbon again on a collection that fuses rich heritage with contemporary creativity,” said Alex Thomas, Master Blender at Bushmills.
The capsule features a tightly curated edit of essentials: a baseball cap, visor, tees, a vest, windbreaker and hoodie.
A suite of bespoke accessories elevates the release further, including a flask and luggage tag set, a decanter set and Glencairn glasses. Prices range from €35 to €236.
“With the world’s oldest golf tournament unfolding in the distillery’s backyard, we’re excited to debut a collection that infuses the spirit and flavour of Northern Ireland’s North Coast into modern golf style,” said Stephen Malbon, co-founder of Malbon Golf.
This is a celebration of Northern Ireland’s natural drama, its enduring traditions, and two crafts that have stood the test of time.
With deep roots and fresh expression, the Bushmills x Malbon collection is now available at shop.bushmills.com, malbongolf.com, and at the Old Bushmills Distillery.
