Hooten Young 12 Year American Whiskey
Hooten Young 12 Year American Whiskey is the flagship from Hooten Young, the veteran-founded whiskey brand of Master Sgt. Norm Hooten, the retired Special Operations soldier portrayed in Black Hawk Down, and his business partner Tim Young. The whiskey is a rare style: a twelve-year-old light whiskey made from a mash of 99% corn and 1% barley, distilled to 189 proof, barreled at 140 proof in second-fill barrels and bottled at 92 proof.
Distilling that high and aging in used barrels produces a whiskey that is softer and sweeter than bourbon, with the oak in a supporting role. Drinkhacker rated it a B+, finding soft vanilla bean, sweet oak, sawdust, tinned pear and demerara sugar on the nose, a rounded, warming palate of honey, baked apple and vanilla, and cocoa and cinnamon sugar on the finish, calling it simple, sweet, well balanced and enjoyable. Hooten Young describes maple, vanilla and ripe apple with a long smooth finish. A portion of proceeds supports veterans' causes, and the bottle has become a favorite gift in military circles.
