Western Gold Bourbon Whiskey

Western Gold is a premium American whiskey brand forged in the crucible of the 1849 California Gold Rush. Founded by prospector-turned-distiller Samuel 'Sam' Calhoun, the brand embodies the pioneering spirit of the American West, transforming pristine Sierra Nevada water and golden corn into 'liquid gold.' This straight bourbon is small-batch distilled in copper pot stills with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Aged 6+ years in new charred American oak and finished in California wine casks, it delivers a distinctive profile of caramelized sugar, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and dark cherry, with a smooth, peppery finish. Positioned at $45-60, Western Gold targets modern adventurers and whiskey enthusiasts who value authentic heritage and craftsmanship. The iconic amber bottle features a gold foil prospector's pan label, merging rugged Western legacy with contemporary sophistication.
