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 commemorative artwork for the 100th anniversary of Cal Memorial Stadium.
Q: What does "finished in wine barrels" mean?
A: After its initial aging, the whiskey is transferred into French Oak barrels that previously held Napa Valley wine. This secondary 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 strictly a bourbon. While it has a high-corn mash bill, its finishing in used wine barrels distinguishes it from bourbon, which must be aged in new charred oak barrels.
Q: How should I enjoy this whiskey?
A: Its smooth and approachable profile makes it excellent for sipping neat or on the rocks. It is also versatile enough to be a great base for classic whiskey cocktails.
Q: Who are the California Golden Bears?
