Uncorking the Spirit of the Cup: Johnnie Walker x Devereux Golf
You know what really gets me excited? When brands team up and it actually makes sense! I mean, sure, we see some wild partnerships—like I can almost picture a Titleist x Old Spice collaboration (hey, maybe someday). But sometimes, we hit the jackpot. Enter the collaboration between Johnnie Walker and Devereux Golf, aptly named the "Spirit of the Cup." And trust me, this one is a hole-in-one.
Why This Collab Is a Game Changer
So, what makes this collab so special? Golf and whisky are basically best buddies. With the Ryder Cup making its debut at Bethpage, Johnnie Walker’s latest collection rides the wave perfectly, capturing the excitement of the tournament. This collection is packed with goodies that have whisky lovers and golfers buzzing. From unique apparel to tantalizing cocktail kits, it’s a collection that celebrates the thrill of the game and the joy of a good drink.
Let’s Talk Gear: Golf with a Twist
First off, we have the Johnnie Walker Knitted Cardigan. Yes, you read that right—whisky-infused sweaters are a thing now! This soft knitted beauty features the Johnnie Walker Golf Club logo and a quirky "Striding Man and Skull Caddie" design. Add a tipped red sleeve, and voila! You’ve got a piece that says, “I’m classy, but also down for some fun on the course.”
And don’t forget the Johnnie Walker Topo Polo, available in "Golden Topo" and "Sky Topo." These colors represent Team USA and Team Europe, respectively. With a topographic design, moisture-wicking tech, and branding that includes the iconic Striding Man, you can show off your style while keeping cool out there on the greens.
Hockey Jerseys? Why the Heck Not!
Now, let’s dive into the standout piece of this collection—the hockey jerseys! Yep, you read that right. Turns out, they’re becoming quite the trend in the golf world, and who could forget about the happy vibes brought by Happy Gilmore? These limited-edition jerseys channel Team USA and Team Europe, with striking embroidered patches and stylish designs that’ll make you look like the MVP out on the course.
These jerseys are labeled “one-of-a-kind, tricked-out,” and honestly? It’s refreshing to see something so unexpected. In a world where golf gear can get a bit stale, hockey jerseys bring a fun, unconventional flair that might just make sense after all. They’re set to ship on October 15, so you’ll have some time to think up a good story for your friends about why you’re rocking one on the course!
Sip, Savor, and Swing: Cocktail Kits for All
If there’s anything that makes a day on the course better, it’s a good drink! The cocktail kits are where this collaboration really shines. These kits, available for both USA and European fans, come fully loaded with everything you need to craft signature drinks: the "Keep Walking 18" and the "Johnnie Lemonade."
The Keep Walking 18 boasts Johnnie Walker Black Label, lime, ginger beer, and more—perfect for quenching your thirst as you recount your latest golf exploits. The Johnnie Lemonade is simple but classy, combining Black Label with lemon juice, simple syrup, and iced tea. It’s approachable without sacrificing sophistication. Talk about a golfer’s dream!
Street Golf and Whisky: What’s Not to Love?
Between September 24-28, Johnnie Walker will be hitting the streets of New York with a branded truck full of fun activities like watch parties, street golf games, and, of course, samples of signature cocktails. What could be better, right? Branded trucks and free whisky samples—bring it on!
Keep an eye on the truck’s location by checking out johnniewalker.com/clubhouse. Even if you’re not sure about following branded trucks around the city, who wouldn’t want to sip on some whisky and enjoy a game of street golf?
The Spirit Behind the Collection
Now, let’s get real for a minute. This collection understands a fundamental truth about golf: a good chunk of the fun happens after the last putt drops, often involving some adult beverages. Johnnie Walker and Devereux are acknowledging this and inviting you to embrace it. They’re not trying to shake up the entire golfing world or set new fashion trends—just encouraging a classic pairing of golf and whisky.
A Little Bit of Fun with the Jerseys
Let’s face it, are hockey jerseys a staple in your golf gear? Probably not. Will you feel a bit goofy wearing one at your local course? Yes, absolutely. But hey, there’s something liberating about shaking things up and having a good laugh with your friends while sipping the essence of your favorite Scotch.
A Collection for Every Occasion
Whether you’re rooting for Team USA or commiserating with European fans, the Spirit of the Cup collection has something for everyone. Picture yourself chilling with a cocktail kit in hand, feeling connected to something bigger as you watch the Ryder Cup unfold. That’s the essence of this collection—it’s all about fun, camaraderie, and making memories.
Final Thoughts
The Spirit of the Cup collection is more than just merchandise; it’s a lifestyle statement. Whether you’re dressing up in your Johnnie Walker cardigan or mixing up some cocktails, it’s all about soaking up the good times, both on and off the course. So grab your gear, invite your friends, and let’s make some unforgettable memories this Ryder Cup season!
So there you have it—if you’re looking for a unique blend of golf and whisky this season, don’t miss out on the Johnnie Walker x Devereux collection. Dive into the spirit of the game, and let’s toast to a fantastic season ahead!
