Gold Bar Blended Whiskey (750Ml)

Description

Gold Bar Original is a blended American whiskey from San Francisco. The bottle is shaped like a real gold bar, with a brass coin set into the front. It looks like a showpiece, but the whiskey inside holds its own.

The base whiskeys come from distilleries across the U.S. The mash bill is 88% corn, 9% rye and 3% barley. Gold Bar blends them in San Francisco, then finishes the whiskey in French oak barrels that once held Napa Valley wine. That second rest adds fruit and a soft, wine-like touch. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

On the nose you'll find burnt sugar and honeyed grain, then orchard fruit and red berries. The palate is bright and warming, with a creamy feel. Red fruit, baking spices and a little wood smoke come through. The finish is smooth and clean, with lingering vanilla. Think of the sweetness of a bourbon with a fruity wine-barrel lift.

The medals keep coming, too. Gold Bar won Double Gold at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It took Best in Show for packaging and design at the Denver International Spirits Competition. It also holds a Platinum award from the SIP Awards and a Silver Medal from the Berlin International Spirits Competition. Bronze medals came from the L.A. Spirits Awards and the New York International Spirits Competition.

Sip it neat or on the rocks, or stir it into an Old Fashioned. Pair it with dark chocolate, smoked meats or aged cheese. It's a fun bottle to bring to a party. It also makes a great gift for anyone who loves a little shine on the bar cart.
