The Cooperstown Distillery Elite Edition Dan Hampton is a straight bourbon paying tribute to the Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive tackle and Chicago Bears icon Dan 'Danimal' Hampton, a 1985 Super Bowl champion. Released under the Canton Distillery brand, it is presented in a patented glass football decanter on a pedestal base and bottled at 100 proof.
Part of Cooperstown's sports legends series, the bourbon was hand-picked by Hampton himself, and the decanter carries his signature. Inside is a robust straight bourbon from New York, made to be as bold and memorable as the career it honours.
The football-shaped decanter makes a spectacular gift for fans and collectors, and a centrepiece for any bar or game room.
Pour it neat on game day, then keep the decanter on display.
Signed sports decanters like this are made in limited numbers, so each one is a keepsake as much as a bottle of bourbon.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Straight bourbon must be aged at least two years in new charred oak containers and bottled without added colour or flavour. Cooperstown Distillery, in the New York village that is home to the Baseball Hall of Fame, has built a following for its hand-blown sports decanters, and each Elite Edition is signed and hand-picked by a Hall of Famer, which makes these bottles prized by collectors long after the bourbon is gone.
