Cooperstown Springfield Basketball Decanter Bourbon Whiskey
Cooperstown Springfield Basketball Decanter Bourbon Whiskey is a 45% ABV (90 proof) bourbon in a 750mL hand-blown glass decanter — a handcrafted blend of younger bourbons and Cooperstown Distillery's small-batch bourbon, chosen for individual character and layered complexity. From the first and only distillery in Otsego County, New York, the bottle is a courtside showpiece: a professional-basketball-shaped decanter with a replica pebbled-leather stopper, sitting on a raised pedestal base with a classic rendition of an official basketball court. It won Gold in Bottle Design at the John Barleycorn Awards. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Hoops Fan's Bourbon
Springfield, Massachusetts is where James Naismith invented basketball in 1891, and Cooperstown Distillery bottles the spirit of the game — literally. The blend underneath the glassware is the point: younger bourbons for brightness and softness plus the distillery's small-batch bourbon for depth, bumped to 90 proof so the finish lands where it should — caramel and butterscotch rounded out with a layer of sweet toffee. Whether it lives on the bar cart or goes straight to the birthday table, it is the gift the hoops fan in all of us was made for. Browse bourbon whiskey, American whiskey and the Cooperstown collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Nose: sweet corn, caramel, a touch of oak. Palate: exceptionally smooth — soft layers of young bourbon and deeper small-batch character, caramel and butterscotch. Finish: sweet toffee, gently warming.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over one cube to appreciate the blend; keep the decanter on display afterward — it is a collector's piece. It also mixes well into a classic whiskey cocktail.
