Hooten Young, a veteran-founded American Whiskey and cigar brand, is thrilled to launch its newest limited-edition product, Hooten Young & Jack Carr Warrior Proof American Whiskey.
Hooten Young was founded by Tim Young and Norm Hooten, Special Mission Unit Member (MSG RET) and real-life “Hoot” from Black Hawk Down (a Hollywood depiction of the Battle of Mogadishu). Created as a brotherhood bonded by the love of freedom, family, and honor—Hooten Young created its cigars and whiskey as a tribute to the brave men and women of the armed forces who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
After being featured on episode 1 of The Terminal List’s book-turned-series Amazon Prime debut, Hooten Young knew this was the start of a brilliant partnership. And so, with the right-hand support of Jack Carr and MGP Distillery, we’ve co-created a whiskey bottled straight from the barrel.
At 125 proof, This special 16-year reserve can be enjoyed neat or with a few drops of distilled water. Staying true to its master mash bill, this American Whiskey is 99% corn and 1% barley. With its high corn percentage, the 125-proof is made smoother and sweeter, rounded out by notes of clove and baked apple.
This isn’t your party whiskey, but rather, an experience to be noted. Paired with a Hooten Young cigar, it’s the perfect way to slow down and honor the brave men and women of our nation’s armed forces.
Starting this spring, the new whiskey will be available in limited quantities at shop.officialjackcarr.com, shop.hootenyoung.com, and select Texas, California, and Florida liquor stores. It will be packaged in a keepsake bottle that features the distinctive branding of Hooten Young and Jack Carr, making it a must-have addition to any whiskey lover’s collection.
