Cooperstown A. Doubleday Baseball (Bourbon Mash) Whiskey Review

[@josh_wood_music]

English guy living in TN here. Gone from only ever drinking scotch to really appreciating a solid bourbon! Keep up the good work :)

[@kenthomas1109]

The tasting room is on Main Street on the same block as the Baseball Hall of Fame, a two minute walk away. It’s lovely and the staff are very sweet. They have additional spirits and a selection of souvenirs. The spirits in the baseball decanter is the biggest seller. The actual distillery is also in town a few blocks away off the main drag. If you find yourself anywhere near Cooperstown, DEFINITELY stop in - the town is full of historically preserved buildings and your transported to the late 1800s, and Lake Otsego is beautiful. James Fenimore Cooper’s home is 10 minutes away on the lake, and is a lovely museum that brings in impressive exhibits.

[@jaredwebster3620]

The toast is one of my favorite things about the channel, just feels like a genuine welcome

[@callmehkyle6609]

So Cooperstown wanted to mimic everything about baseball in this package. The ball is a larger replica, same number of stitches like a baseball, baseball diamond on the bottom, homage to Doubleday etc. When it first came out, it was $60ish and sold easily during the holiday months and Father’s Day. The issue most had with it is that the juice didn’t match the price, so it was mostly a gift kind of item. Since then, they took in some investors who did a number of things. Extended the like of themed bottles (golf club, football etc). They are now able to create their own juice and add it to the blend. Most importantly is that brought the price down by over $20. Now, the juice is a closer match to the price point AND it’s still a fun gift to give to family and friends.

[@danielgetman7852]

I've visited this distillery twice, you've given the Doubleday a fair review. This one and the Beanball Bourbon are definitely crowd pleasers. The releases in the Select Series are a significant step up, lots of complexity and flavor, very far from the thin and simple profile of this one.

[@troyspence1958]

I've always wondered what knife Daniel carries. I carried a Kershaw Leek for many years. It's a great knife. I've switched to the Kershaw Link because it fits my hand better.

[@jpoggi9081]

HAHAHA I sent a picture of this to a friend recently and in the parking lot he asked me to buy it. Too bad the liquor store closed that very minute! This is a treat to see

[@BJWanlund]

Thanks for this guys, stumbled upon this one because I was searching for anything on the Cooperstown bourbon which now that I know it’s got notes I might like… I have a suspicion that I’m going to be taking a look and/or a try when I get up there next, thanks gentlemen.

[@clifcorcoran9917]

Great ball busting guys. I certainly appreciated it!

Baseball whiskey: "America's pastime". I'll have to try this now.

[@JazznRealHipHop]

Just seen Lag 16 at my local (Ohio) for 85 I should buy two

[@islaymmm]

The passion in the toast was unimaginable

[@jimbokyzar8170]

Good Monday Morning Gentlemen.

[@andrew_dudinetz7608]

Can you review cooperstown Rye??

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the review 🥃

[@jordonmunson8212]

I have that on the shelf and haven’t tried it yet.

[@jakewhite4321]

Jake is a good name. It also makes Halloween easy. Khakis and a red polo.

[@paladonis]

You guys aren't kidding about those prices. Craeg Isle 12, a Total Wine created Islay, that I like to call Ardbeg lite. It started as a $26 pricetag. It was worth $26. Now it has a $46 prices tag, almost the same cost as Ardbeg 10 had back when Craeg Isle was released likr 4 years ago. It is getting sorta nuts indeed. I have moved to only buying budget stuff and have had a chance to hunt around and taste. So I found some that are much better than the ones you guys featured a few Saturdays ago in Whiskey Tribe channel, but I am not even thinking about collecting at this point. A shame as I was going to before prices went so high.

[@johnsenter549]

Was the Harry Caray comment referring to the Chicago Cubs?

[@marcwhiskey]

This is my infinity bottle. I've heard their more recent offerings have gotten better. Maybe bottling stuff with a bit more age now? But I remember this being soft and a bit boring. However I love the bottle as a baseball fan.

[@ThorisGod100]

Did Daniel throw in a hidden Cubs Baseball reference? Harry Carey/Hari Kari.

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@TylerOath]

Bought this bottle for a huge Yankees fan friend of mine, he loved it! I have never seen it in the wild since…

[@marcwhiskey]

They don't have huge distribution yet. In several states I think. But not nationwide.

[@jjy3k10]

Morning MBs! Watched one of the old vault videos the other day and Rex was talking about picking up Laphroaig for around $30... And at the time I was watching in my area the 10 was easily $60, and has now gone up to about $80 with tax. So no only regioinal differences but inflation increased tariffs as well.

[@jaybird4834]

Rob is in the house with a fast ball!

[@Perfect5Recurve]

I can't fault your pronunciation because you're from Texas and that's the Spanish influence there, but Otsego is pronounced Ot-see-go. Otsego is a Mohawk or Oneida word for Place of the Rock.

[@loganmott1817]

Schenevus is another one that trips people up

[@brmicmatthews8398]

I’m from the Mohawk valley near Utica. I love hearing people pronounce Iroquois words.

@@brmicmatthews8398 Broome County here and I agree. It’s fun knowing how to pronounce names here but then get destroyed trying to figure out names in Wisconsin lmao.

[@loganmott1817]

[@techie13804]

Chenango County here. I bet they'd like they Cooperstown Select Straight Rye. Very tasty.

[@ARGONUAT]

I was definitely wondering about this one. Saw it in Spring time on a visit to the Cooperstown Hall of Fame.

[@ianmcginley4778]

Bought this with the intent to use it as the vessel for my infinity bottle. It was better than I expected, though definitely came off as a bit more sweet than I'm used to from a bourbon. Fantastic utility from an infinity bottle perspective, though.

[@adalt84]

Scored Oban 14 for $45 at WalMart recently. May or May not have bought 3 bottles.

[@GeekGinger]

I'm sure Harry Caray (the Cubs announcer not the Japanese ceremony) would have appreciated that whiskey!

[@MessengerOnline]

That was quite the covfefe at the end there. Nicely done. 😆

[@robviousobviously5757]

would that knife happen to be a Kershaw Leek?

[@MrTPF1]

I was gifted a bottle of this and I thought it was good but light like Canadian whiskey, and certainly not a full-bodied bourbon. I did enjoy it though.

[@Wilvekio69]

Morning peeps :)

[@michaelohagan5860]

what's your thoughts on crown black ???

[@user-qjvqfjv]

Community, I'm about to hit two years in my career, and I've decided for every career anniversary, I'll buy a (years * 100) dollar bottle of whiskey, so my budget is $190-210 (it can be slightly outside this range, but my goal is one bottle around $200). I don't enjoy bourbon, but any other type of whiskey is great, especially Scotch, rye, and Indian. I welcome your recommendations within that very specific budget.

[@76coopman]

Grew up over the hill from there

[@brewd1974]

I just proud of Daniel form pronouncing "Otsego" correctly

[@laxman1312]

Just about everything to do in Cooperstown is baseball themed. The baseball hall of fame weekend is the event of the year, and main source of income for businesses.

[@kunzilla]

oh hell, i'd buy the bottle simply because of the baseball, speaking as a baseball fan.

[@happierdude4536]

"right over home plate" Inviting the scorn

[@robviousobviously5757]

and a day late... but GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Like the bowling pin, I can see one of these bottles sitting on a non-drinking baseball fan's shelf for the next 30 years... 😁

[@marcwhiskey]

Or used as a baseball fans infinity bottle for the next 30 years.

[@flannel872]

Damn it.

[@TheDrunkenPoetGaming]

[@patrickq7489]

I wonder if they knew Harry Carey was also a baseball reference?

[@IrLosin]

Seinfeld reference? Instant like.

[@Vakii88]

You mean the best name

[@Hellboy700]

We go from Rex committing a Dad joke foul "right over home plate" to Daniel unknowingly committing a Dad joke with "hare kari" because it sounds like "Harry Caray", the beloved commentator for the Chicago Cubs. Love and Miss you Harry!! Sooooooo... Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don't care if I never get back, Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don't win it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, At the old ball game.

[@P_Ezi]

Some people completely freak out if you hand a knife back in a different state than it was in when it was handed to you. If handed a closed knife, they expect a closed knife handed back. Does anyone know the origin or meaning of this?

[@Magnum_Express]

Sounds like OCD

[@ThorisGod100]

Kinda like my brother, too!

[@ram5743]

Eagle rare with Ardbeg Uigeadail! I will post on every video till they try it.

[@brandofo]

The baseball distillery needs to age their whiskey in unswung baseball bat wood barrels. Likewise, the bowling pin distiller should use unwaxed bowling lane wood barrels. I think this would result in a product that is more flavorful and true to itself.

[@damonhice98]

Didn’t close the knife he opened before handing it back.🤔

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

Yup. As expected

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Rex seems like a Jeff Morgan

[@freyja4954]

Am I the only one wondering what the knife is

[@TheiPad]

Daniel just discovering assisted open knives 😂 wait till he funds out about OTF (out the front) knives

[@contentioushackery]

He has carried a Leek for at least a few years, but I don't remember it being black so maybe he just got a new one. I have to say it really does have a satisfying snap when it opens.

[@berkaberk]

Shtick Whiskey - Shticksy

[@rachellejaniga9716]

Wonderful distillery in New York. They have better whiskey in their line than this one. I highly recommend their whiskey that is in the core line.

At my wedding, after everyone made their speeches, I went up to the mic in order to speak to everyone.

I can’t see this as not: “Hey. So what does it cost for Dan Ackroyd’s Crystal Skull Vodka* but so how much cheaper for same base…but a BALL?!”-hypothetical situation in my head -yes I have issues bite me 🎉😂 *”No tom, dick or harry! (but these are all natural compounds that make you taste & smell any $ everything - aswell as any psychotropic or effect of psychoactive weak chemicals acting in entourage things like terpenes/terpenoids &/flavonoids d-limonene”-dextrorotary limonene? “ a colorless liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon classified as a cyclic monoterpene, and is the major component in the oil of citrus fruit peels. The d-isomer, occurring more commonly in nature as the fragrance of oranges, is a flavoring agent in food manufacturing. It is also used in chemical synthesis as a precursor to carvone and as a renewables-based solvent in cleaning products. The less common l-isomer has a piny, turpentine-like odor, and is found in the edible parts of such plants as caraway, dill, and bergamot orange plants.” Okay whatever guy who thinks the stuff in cleaning products, cheap flavored vodka, 100% all natural legal terpene supplement, natural fruit & the various entourage effects between the many strains of God’s Cabbage (despite if hybrid or not!) are at all different couldn’t be more demonstrably wrong unless arranged differently due to the plant but that just makes it more medical not unnatural (unless you’re adding it to grain spirits DAN!!)
