The very-much-awarded “Liquid Gold”.

Cooperstown is home to the baseball hall of fame. So what do you do if you are opening a small-batch craft distillery and Spirit blending house in Cooperstown? Gene Marra founded Cooperstown Distillery to marry his twin passions of baseball and fine Spirits. Today, they make Beanball Bourbon, Abner Doubleday Classic American Whiskey, and DoublePlay Vodka. The also produce Glimmerglass Vodka (named after a local art festival), Fenimore Gin (named after a Cooperstown Art Museum), and a bunch of other Spirits named after baseball lore and local Cooperstown attractions.

Cooperstown Select Bourbon is their most popular Bourbon which can easily compete with the finest bottlings out there. The four-grain mash bill is quite unique with all the grains sourced exclusively locally from New York State. It’s then aged for at least 3 years in oak barrels. The insanely soft and delicate resulting Bourbon was won several prestigious awards and Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible named it “Liquid Gold” for two consecutive years in 2020 and 2019.
