Norm Hooten and Tim Young as a tribute to the men and women of the armed forces. The whiskey is sourced from MGP in Indiana from the brand's signature mashbill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley and aged in second-fill barrels, producing a lighter, sweeter style. This 15-year barrel-proof release is bottled at 125 proof for a fuller, more concentrated expression of that profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple, vanilla, brown sugar, light oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet corn, caramel, baked apple, gentle oak spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm, smooth, lingering sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hooten Young (sourced from MGP, Indiana)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Whiskey, 15 Year, Barrel Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMashbill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99% corn, 1% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 (62.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho makes Hooten Young whiskey?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHooten Young is a veteran-founded brand established by former Special Operations soldier Master Sgt.
