Hooten Young has unveiled a 10-year-old bourbon developed with author and retired Navy SEAL sniper Jack Carr. Limited to 1,500 bottles, Warrior Select Bourbon will open for pre-sale on October 15, 2026, at a suggested retail price of $65.99 per 750ml bottle.
The Batch No. 1 release is timed to coincide with the second season of The Terminal List on Prime Video, with shipping scheduled to begin in late October.
Distilled by MGP in Indiana, the bourbon has a mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% barley malt. It is bottled at 53.5% ABV, or 107 proof, by Manifest Distilling in Jacksonville, Florida.

Warrior Select extends an existing collaboration between Hooten Young and Carr. The pair previously developed Warrior Proof American Whiskey, a 16-year-old expression. The new bottling brings a younger age statement and a bourbon offering to the partnership.
Carr is the author behind The Terminal List novels. All eight episodes of the television adaptation’s second season will premiere on October 21, 2026, with Chris Pratt returning as Navy SEAL Commander James Reece. The season is based on Carr’s second novel, True Believer, according to Amazon’s announcement.
The official notes from the brand describe toasted hazelnut, dry hay and warm red apple on the nose, followed by pastry, floral and herbal aromas.

Distribution will include Hooten Young’s online store and selected retailers in Florida, Texas and Nevada. The company lists shipping availability to most U.S. states, excluding Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma and Utah.
The October 15 pre-sale gives buyers an opportunity to order six days before the television premiere, although the stated late-October shipping window falls after the series’ return.
