Cooperstown Distillery is a small craft distillery in Cooperstown, New York, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Its Select line is bottled in small batches and single barrels, each with its own character.
At barrel strength the rye is bold and spicy, with caramel and oak. With its ornate green-and-gold label, it is a distinctive gift for a rye lover.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
