Cooperstown Select is Cooperstown Distillery's most acclaimed straight bourbon, made from a unique four-grain mash bill of local New York State grains, aged at least three years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
Crafted at Cooperstown Distillery in Otsego County, New York, it is batch-distilled at a farm distillery from 100% New York State corn, malted barley, rye and oats, then aged in choice new charred oak barrels.
It is a remarkably soft and delicate bourbon. The nose offers clove, allspice, light earthy notes and char; the palate creamy crème brûlée, burnt caramel and chocolate with honeyed undertones; and the finish is smooth and delicate with nutmeg, butterscotch and honey.
Awarded Liquid Gold with 95 points in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, it makes a fine gift for bourbon lovers.
Enjoy it neat or on the rocks.
