Product Overview
Gold Bar Retro Edition — Joe Montana Collection
A tribute to San Francisco’s golden era and a legend of the gridiron, Gold Bar Retro Edition — Joe Montana Collection marries sports heritage with refined bourbon craftsmanship. Released as a limited collector’s expression in collaboration with Joe Montana, this edition celebrates four decades since the 49ers’ 1985 championship while offering a whiskey experience rich in character and legacy.
Drawing from Gold Bar’s signature four-grain mash bill (corn, wheat, rye, and barley), this straight bourbon is aged for over four years before being finished in wine casks, imparting depth, nuance, and a graceful touch of fruit-wood complexity. Bottled at 85 proof (≈ 42.5% ABV), it achieves a balance between strength and drinkability.
Limited Collector Edition – Part of the Joe Montana Collection, this Retro Edition honors San Francisco’s golden legacy and the 49ers’ championship tradition.
Four-Grain Mash Bill – Blends corn, wheat, rye, and barley for layered complexity and a smooth, rounded profile.
Wine Cask Finish – After primary aging, the bourbon is finished in wine barrels to introduce subtle fruit influence, oak nuance, and added elegance.
Flavor Profile – Expect aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted grain, interwoven with hints of red fruit or berry from the wine cask influence. On the palate, balanced sweetness, soft spice, oak restraint, and lingering fruit-wood tones lead to a warm finish.
Stylish Presentation – The design evokes retro San Francisco flair, and each bottle includes a collectible can koozie inspired by Joe Montana’s iconic gold jacket.
Gold Bar Retro Edition — Joe Montana Collection: a toast to legacy, excellence, and the timeless bond between craft and community.
