Football legend Joe Montana has joined forces with The Gold Bar Spirits Company to introduce the exclusive Joe Montana Whiskey Collection. This limited edition release includes specially designed bottles with a unique bottleneck tag featuring a wearable, iron-on Joe Montana patch.
Gold Bar has collaborated with Avery-Dennison to develop ‘The Patch,’ a packaging innovation that turns each bottle tag into a collector's item and features an embedded near-field communication (NFC) chip. This NFC technology adds a layer of interactivity, as tapping the patch with a smartphone directs fans to exclusive Joe Montana content.
This includes a ‘secret’ video showcasing the sports icon at the Gold Bar Distillery, meticulously preparing his signature cocktail, ‘The Golden Joe.’ This cocktail recipe, which uses Gold Bar Whiskey alongside orange juice, lime juice, and ginger beer, offers enthusiasts a unique glimpse into Montana's personal preferences and mixology expertise.
