Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Is the whiskey inside different from the standard Gold Bar Original?
A: The whiskey inside is the Gold Bar Original blended American whiskey. The "Limited Edition" aspect refers to the collectible bottle, which features the commemorative artwork for "The Catch."
Q: What is "The Catch"?
A: "The Catch" refers to the game-winning touchdown pass in the January 10, 1982, NFC Championship Game between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback Joe Montana threw the pass, which was caught by Dwight Clark in the back of the end zone, securing the 49ers' spot in Super Bowl XVI. It is considered one of the most clutch and memorable plays in sports history.
Q: What does "finished in wine barrels" mean?
A: After its initial aging, the whiskey is transferred into barrels that previously held Napa Valley wine. This second maturation period imparts smoothness and subtle fruit notes from the wine-soaked oak into the final spirit.
Q: Is Gold Bar Whiskey a Bourbon?
A: The Gold Bar Original, featured in this commemorative bottle, is a blended American Whiskey, not a bourbon. It has a high-corn mash bill but is finished in used wine barrels, whereas bourbon must be aged in new charred oak barrels. Gold Bar does produce other expressions that are specifically designated as bourbon.
Q: Is this a good whiskey for sipping or cocktails?
A: Both! It is designed to be very approachable and smooth for easy sipping, but its subtle sweetness also makes it a great base for classic whiskey cocktails.
Q: Where can I purchase the Gold Bar 'The Catch' Limited Edition?
A: This is a limited and highly sought-after collectible. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory.
