Recent reviews of Distillery Whiskey Cocktail Class

  • 5/5 from James McGregor, attended Jul 2026: Our teacher Will was great! We loved trying the different whiskeys Gold Bar makes and then getting great instruction about making easy but excellent tasting cocktails. Very easy to use a bento gift card for booking and finding where to go upon arrival.

Gold Bar Whiskey

5.0 (5)

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.
Established in 2013, Gold Bar Whiskey crafts a distinguished portfolio of award-winning whiskies in the heart of San Francisco, California. Located on Treasure Island — originally built to host the iconic 1939 Golden Gate Exposition World Fair — our distillery sits on the ground floor of the original 1930s Pan-Am Airport, by Treasure Island's Ferry Terminal.
Our master blender is a second generation winemaker from Napa Valley, Montgomery Paulsen (Monty) is a proud native of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Monty graduated from the prestigious University of California Davis School of Winemaking, with a Bachelor of Science in Fermentation Science.
He has spent 25 years winemaking at top wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties. Monty’s passion for spirits & wine began in the early 1970s at his family’s Pat Paulsen Vineyard in Sonoma, where he was active in all areas of his family’s business.
