About Hooten Young Barrel Proof American Whiskey 15 Yr
Hooten Young 15 Year Barrel Proof American Whiskey is a bold, blended whiskey produced by WineSource International Inc., bottled at 62.5% ABV (125 proof) and aged 15 years in second-fill American oak barrels for exceptional depth and intensity. What makes it special is its high-proof, unfiltered profile with a unique mash bill leaning heavily toward corn (similar to prior batches at 99% corn, 1% barley), delivering rich caramel, oak, dark fruits, and spice notes that showcase American distilling artistry. Ideal for seasoned whiskey connoisseurs and veterans' supporters—10% of profits aid veterans' charities—it's perfect for sipping neat or with water to unlock its complexity. Compared to category peers, it stands out for its rarity (limited bottles), higher age and proof versus standard blends like the 12-year at 120 proof (~$110), and superior balance at a competitive $90.21 for 750ml, offering premium value without dilution.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Warm caramel, toasted oak, and dark fruits dominate, with hints of spice, vanilla, and subtle smoke unfolding. Fresh cinnamon spice and baked apple add an invigorating, dessert-like allure. Creamy, jammy, and slightly earthy notes emerge, smoothed by 15 years of aging.
👅 Palate
Robust layers of toffee, rich brown sugar, nuttiness, and savory oak deliver a full-bodied, direct smoothness. Maple, nutmeg, cinnamon, butterscotch, vanilla, and warm baked pear provide juicy freshness and spice. Bright sweet fruit transitions to rich, dark, slightly bitter intensity with good heat that's flavorful, not overwhelming.
✨ Finish
Long, satisfying, and creamy with buttery sweetness, mellowed spices, and lingering oak heat. Complex and balanced, inviting another sip.
