Bourbon in a Baseball
Cooperstown Distillery sits on the Cooperstown Beverage Trail in upstate New York, in the village where baseball's origin story lives — so the bottle had to be a baseball. The patented decanter is hand-blown glass stitched like a real ball, 108 stitches and all, and it's the kind of vessel people keep long after the bourbon is gone. Inside is a proper drinker: Indiana-sourced bourbon blended across younger and five-year-old stocks by Cooperstown's distiller, soft and caramel-forward. Among bourbons, it's equal parts gift bottle and pourable whiskey.
Tasting Notes
A soft nose with layers of depth gives way to smooth caramel and butterscotch on the palate, closing with a sweet toffee finish. Approachable and mellow — the older component adds roundness without pushing the proof.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks to keep it simple and let the caramel character show. It's also the centerpiece bottle of the bar cart — serve it when you want the conversation starter to be the whiskey itself.
