As The Open Championship plays out along the rugged beauty of Northern Ireland’s coastline, two icons—Bushmills Irish Whiskey and Malbon Golf—have teamed up once again to honor the deep connection between golf, style, and heritage. Their new limited-edition capsule collection pays tribute to County Antrim, home to both the historic Royal Portrush Golf Club and the legendary Bushmills Distillery.

This second collaboration between the world’s oldest licensed whiskey maker and the Los Angeles-based golf lifestyle brand reimagines Irish tradition for today’s modern golfer. The collection features apparel and accessories inspired by the region’s iconic plaid patterns, thoughtfully tailored for performance on the course and style off it. Each piece captures the essence of Northern Ireland’s natural beauty and cultural character—rugged, refined, and rich with story.

“We’re excited to debut a collection that infuses the spirit and flavor of Northern Ireland’s North Coast into modern golf style,” said Malbon co-founder Stephen Malbon. “We knew we had to go bigger for our second drop.”

The capsule also includes custom barware and bespoke whiskey sets, celebrating the shared rituals of golf and whiskey, both defined by precision, patience, and camaraderie. From the fairway to the 19th hole, this collaboration reflects the friendships and traditions that continue long after the final putt.

The Bushmills x Malbon capsule is now available at malbongolf.com, bushmills.com/malbon, and onsite at the Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim.

Located just minutes from Royal Portrush, the historic distillery offers guided tours where visitors can explore centuries of whiskey-making tradition, sample a range of aged spirits, and experience the rich heritage that inspired this one-of-a-kind collaboration.
