Cooperstown is, of course, home to Cooperstown—the baseball museum and hall of fame. It is also home to Cooperstown Distillery. So what do you do if you are opening a small-batch craft distillery and spirit blending house in Cooperstown? You build it on a baseball theme of course! Then you sprinkle in a bit of other Cooperstown-ish things as well.
Gene Marra obviously loves his hometown. He founded Cooperstown Distillery to marry the twin passions of baseball and spirits. Today, they make BeanBall Borubon, 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 Sam Smith Boatyard Rum—you guessed it… named after a local lake attraction.
