Gold Bar Original is a smooth, award-winning blended American whiskey finished in Napa Valley wine barrels, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a signature gold-bar-shaped bottle.
It is distilled from 88% corn, 9% rye and 3% barley. Gold Bar sources its base whiskies from distilleries across America, then double casks them in former Napa Valley wine barrels for exceptional smoothness.
It has a gentle body with notes of honey, red fruit and subtle spice. Highly versatile and a true crowd-pleaser, it is delicious served neat or in cocktails.
The gleaming gold-bar bottle with its coin medallion makes it a showpiece gift.
Finishing whiskey in wine barrels adds a soft fruitiness and rounds out the grain.
Its corn-forward mash bill gives a naturally sweet, mellow base.
With its gentle body, it is an easy introduction for newer whiskey drinkers.
Try it in a Whiskey Sour, where the red fruit notes pair nicely with fresh lemon.
A splash of ginger ale makes an easy highball for gatherings.
The gold-bar bottle stands out on any back bar and makes the whiskey a natural choice for celebrations.
Serve it slightly chilled on a large ice cube to highlight the honey notes.
It also mixes well into a classic Old Fashioned with a cherry and orange peel.
Its smooth, approachable profile makes it easy to share with friends who are just getting into whiskey.
