Gold Bar California Cask Finished Blend 889 American Whiskey

Gold Bar Blended Whiskey is a modern American creation that marries gold standard tradition with innovation. The bottle’s design is, as expected, a gold bar itself! The whiskey is distilled from a mash bill of 88% corn, 9% rye, and 3% barley, then finished in Napa Valley wine barrels. Looking at it, you might think it’s a gimmick, but reality proves otherwise.

On the palate, it is bright and warming, with soft sweetness, creamy mouthfeel, and flavors of red fruits, baking spices, and gentle wood smoke. The nose opens with burnt sugar, honeyed grains, orchard fruits, and red berries. The finish is smooth and clean, lingering with vanilla sweetness. The Napa Valley wine barrel finishing is the star here, helping to enhance fruit notes and create a whiskey that meets Bourbon richness with wine_like finesse.

A gold for Gold! This bottle has won Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition as well as a Best in Show for packaging and design at the Denver International Spirits Competition. Other noteworthy accolades include a Platinum Award at the SIP Awards, a Silver Medal at the Berlin International Spirits Competition, and Bronze Medal at the L.A. Spirits Awards & New York International Spirits Competition.
