A Legendary Collaboration Returns
Bushmills, the world’s most awarded Irish Single Malt, and Malbon, golf’s leading apparel brand, are teaming up once again. This time, they’re unveiling a capsule collection that captures the essence of Northern Ireland’s North Coast through Malbon’s contemporary lens.
Launching July 17th, just ahead of the British Open at Royal Portrush, the collection celebrates the rich heritage of the region—just around the corner from the historic Bushmills Distillery.
A Tribute to County Antrim Plaid
The collection features an exclusive line of apparel and accessories adorned with Malbon x Bushmills signature icons. At its heart is a reimagined Irish plaid, inspired by the traditional County Antrim pattern—a staple in golf attire for centuries. This modern interpretation pays homage to the timeless connection between golf and Northern Ireland’s cultural fabric.
Where Golf Meets Whiskey
“Following last year’s successful collaboration with Bushmills, which reimagined the timeless pairing of whiskey and golf, we knew we had to go even bigger for our second drop,” says Stephen Malbon, co-founder of Malbon Golf. “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 flavor of Northern Ireland’s North Coast into modern golf style.”
From the rolling greens of Royal Portrush to the drams of Bushmills Irish Whiskey shared after a round, this collection embodies the best of both worlds.
