Cooperstown Distillery Cooper's Ransom Rye 750 ml

Cooper's Ransom Rye comes from Cooperstown Distillery in upstate New York, made from rye and corn grown within the state and bottled at cask strength — no dilution, no blending across barrels. That un-cut approach is why it lands at a hearty 102 proof, well above the 80-90 proof most ryes ship at. Expect the classic rye backbone: black pepper and caraway upfront, moving into dark rye bread and a long pumpernickel finish. The extra proof gives it more grip than a typical bottled-in-bond rye, so it holds up to a splash of water or a single ice cube if the full-strength pour feels like too much. Built for rye drinkers who want more intensity, not less.

How to drink Cooper's Ransom Rye

At 102 proof, a few drops of water or one ice cube opens it up without losing the pepper and rye-bread character. It's strong enough to anchor a Manhattan or a Sazerac if you want the cocktail to taste like whiskey first.
