Cooperstown DoubleDay Baseball Bourbon 750 ml

Doubleday Bourbon comes from Cooperstown Distillery in Cooperstown, New York — the town best known as the disputed birthplace of baseball and home to the Baseball Hall of Fame, which the bottle leans into with its baseball-shaped decanter. It's a blend of younger and older bourbons bottled at 90 proof, built by the distillery to drink smoother and more mature than a young whiskey typically would. Expect caramel and vanilla up front, oak and light spice through the middle, and a warm, moderate finish. It's aimed as much at collectors and baseball fans hunting a conversation-piece bottle as at bourbon drinkers after an easy, everyday pour.

How to drink Doubleday Bourbon

At 90 proof it holds up fine to a single large ice cube, which softens the edges without erasing the caramel. It's built as an easygoing sipper rather than a barrel-proof exercise, so a plain rocks glass does the job.
