Our Gold Bar Whiskey distillery is located on Treasure Island in San Francisco, California. We mature, double cask and bottle all of our whiskies on site.

We currently source our base spirit from high quality craft distillers in the US who have distilled the whiskey to our specifications.

All of the finishing, blending and bottling occurs on site in our San Francisco Distillery.

Bourbon is a type of whiskey, in the same way that Champagne is a type of wine. So therefore all Bourbon is Whiskey but not all Whiskey is Bourbon.

To be called “straight bourbon whiskey”, bourbon has to have been aged in new charred oak barrels for a minimum of two years.
