Crafted with care in the heart of the San Francisco Bay, Gold Bar Whiskey is an award-winning American Whiskey enjoyed by whiskey drinkers around the world. Our barrel rickhouse sits beneath rustic Californian Redwood beams where our whiskey is finished and double matured in former wine barrels chosen from select wineries in Northern California.

THE LADY OF FORTUNE COIN
Each 750mL glass bottle of Gold Bar Whiskey features an iconic 'Lady of Fortune' coin. This replica, collector-grade con is hand-pressed onto each individual bottle. The coin is a symbol of true American craftsmanship and our company history.
Our coins are minted one-by-one at America's oldest operating private mint in the United States. The mint's history dates back to 1835, predating the introduction of the legal tender banknote.
Internationally renowned Californian artist, Steven Noble, designed the Lady of Fortune Gold Bar Whiskey coin at his home studio, in Sonoma County, California. He specializes in the scratchboard medium, which is considered by many one of the most difficult artistic mediums to master. This traditional method is used for creating currency and bond certificates and other highly detailed, textured artwork.
The Lady of Fortune Gold Bar Whiskey coin featured on all of our bottles is a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
The front of the coin is inspired by renowned heroines of victory. The Lady of Fortunre embodies the Californian spirit of entrepreneurship, hard work and determination.
The Lady of Fortune stands in front of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This mountain range is where the California Gold Rush occured from 1848 to 1855. The back of the coin features the phrase may her light reveal your fortune's path.
Featured on the left-side, the rocks and pickaxe represent grit, hard work and effort. On her right-side, she holds the three harvested grains of Gold Bar Whiskey: corn, rye and barley, representing the fruits of her labor. She also proudly stands on a precipice of gold bars.
