Veteran-founded whiskey and cigar brand, Hooten Young, recently collaborated with a former Navy Seal and best-selling author to launch a 16-year-old whiskey.
Teaming up with Jack Carr, New York Times best selling author of The Terminal ListA statement from the Hooten Young brand notes that after being featured on Episode 1 of The Terminal List’s book-turned-series on Amazon Prime, Hooten Young officials realized it was the start of a new partnership.
And with the support of Jack Carr and MGP Distillery, they created a whiskey bottled straight from the barrel.
Warrior Proof clocks in at 125 proof, and is an American whiskey made from 99% corn and 1% barley. The distiller’s notes show that with this high corn percentage, the high-proof whiskey is made smoother and sweeter, rounded out by notes of clove and baked apple.
