What Is the Bushmills x Malbon Collaboration?

Updated

The Bushmills x Malbon collaboration is a partnership between Bushmills Irish Whiskey and Malbon that the brand presents under the theme "Tradition Reimagined." On bushmills.com, the collaboration appears as a dedicated capsule with its own section, tied to golf-themed cocktails and events, and it sits alongside the 2026 Collection on the homepage. If you are trying to understand what the tie-up actually includes before buying or planning around it, the site points to three connected pieces: a Bushmills x Malbon capsule, golf-related cocktails and events, and a story feature titled "Behind The Capsule: Bushmills x Malbon."

What the collaboration includes

Based on the bushmills.com homepage, the Bushmills x Malbon collaboration is presented through several linked elements rather than a single product page:

  • A named capsule: The site labels it "Bushmills x Malbon" and "Busmills x Malbon" (the site's own spelling varies), with a "shop now" call to action.
  • A theme: "Tradition Reimagined" is used as the framing line for the collaboration.
  • Golf context: The page links to "golf cocktails" and "golf events," and includes a "Meet us On The course" section with a "Learn More" link.
  • An editorial feature: "Behind The Capsule: Bushmills x Malbon" is offered as background reading on the collaboration.
  • Placement in the 2026 Collection: The collaboration appears within "The 2026 Collection" area of the homepage.

Where it sits in the wider Bushmills range

The collaboration is one part of a broader Bushmills lineup shown on the same page. The featured whiskeys listed include:

Whiskey Tasting notes as listed Note
26 Year Crystal Malt Original Vanilla, caramel and oatmeal 2024 Award Winner
10 Year Apple tart, chocolate, honey 2024 Award Winner
16 Year Almonds, honey, port 2025 Award Winner
Crystal Malt — New Innovation, "A First-of-its kind Crystal Malt"

The site also describes Bushmills as "Ireland's most awarded single malt" and highlights a 30 Year Single Malt. The Bushmills x Malbon capsule is presented separately from these featured whiskeys, so treat it as a distinct collaboration line rather than a replacement for the core range.

Cocktails and events tied to the collaboration

The golf angle is the clearest practical link between the collaboration and what you can actually do. The homepage points to:

  • Golf cocktails — a "see golf cocktails" link.
  • Golf events — a "see golf events" link.
  • Featured cocktails more generally, including "The Irish Highball" and "The Oldest Fashioned."

If your interest is in making or ordering drinks connected to the collaboration, the cocktail links are the place to start. If your interest is in attending something, the golf events link is the relevant entry point.

What the site does not specify

The homepage evidence does not state prices, release quantities, bottle sizes, or which specific markets the Bushmills x Malbon capsule ships to. It also does not confirm whether the collaboration is a limited release or an ongoing line. For those details, you would need to check the individual product pages reached through the "shop now" links rather than the homepage summary.

How to explore it yourself

  1. Go to bushmills.com and confirm you are of legal drinking age, since the site presents an age gate.
  2. Look for the "Bushmills x Malbon" or "Busmills x Malbon" section within "The 2026 Collection."
  3. Use "shop now" to see the capsule items and any availability details on the product pages.
  4. Follow "Behind The Capsule: Bushmills x Malbon" for the brand's own explanation of the partnership.
  5. Use the golf cocktails and golf events links if the drinks or event side is what you are after.

The short answer: Bushmills x Malbon is a golf-linked capsule collaboration framed as "Tradition Reimagined," sold through bushmills.com alongside the 2026 Collection, with supporting cocktail and event content. Check the individual product pages for pricing and availability, since the homepage does not provide them.
