Built for the Ones Who Serve
Hooten Young was founded by former Special Operations soldier Master Sgt. Norm Hooten and Tim Young as a tribute to the men and women of the armed forces — and Warrior Proof is its most serious whiskey. The partnership with Jack Carr, the retired Navy SEAL turned bestselling novelist behind The Terminal List, produced a barrel-strength 16-year-old that the brand itself recommends drinking neat or with a few drops of distilled water. Featured on The Joe Rogan Experience, this is a collector-worthy bottle with a warrior's spirit. Explore more barrel-strength American whiskey or browse everything from Hooten Young at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Expect clove and baked apple at the core, with nougat, brown sugar, vanilla, and light oak around the edges — remarkably smooth and sweet for 125 proof, with a long, warming, peppery finish over sweet corn richness.
How to Enjoy
Neat to experience its full power, or with a few drops of distilled water to open the sweeter corn and vanilla layers — and it pairs exceptionally well with a fine cigar.
