Hooten Young Jack Carr Warrior Select Bourbon is a distinctive 10 Year Aged Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey created as part of Hooten Young’s collaboration with bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr. Built around mature American bourbon and presented at barrel proof, Warrior Select is designed for whiskey drinkers seeking a robust, full-strength expression with substantial oak-driven character.
A full decade of maturation gives this 10 year bourbon time to develop layers of caramelized sugar, vanilla, seasoned oak, baking spice and dark fruit, while the barrel-proof presentation preserves the whiskey's concentrated character and weight. Rather than being proofed down to a conventional bottling strength, the higher-strength format delivers a richer and more intense sipping experience.
The profile opens with inviting notes of caramel, vanilla and toasted oak, followed by deeper impressions of dark fruit, warm baking spices and charred wood. The palate is bold and structured, balancing mature oak with bourbon sweetness before moving into a warming, persistent finish.
The distinctive navy-and-gold presentation highlights the Jack Carr Warrior Select identity, making this release equally compelling as a collectible bottle, whiskey gift, or centerpiece for a premium American bourbon collection.
For enthusiasts searching for Hooten Young Bourbon, Jack Carr Bourbon, 10 Year Barrel Proof Bourbon, Warrior Select Bourbon, or mature high-proof American whiskey, this release brings together age, strength and a distinctive collaborative identity.

How to Enjoy
For the fullest expression, serve neat in a whiskey tasting glass and allow the bourbon several minutes to open. A few drops of water can help soften the alcohol intensity and reveal additional aromas.
It can also be enjoyed over a large cube for gradual dilution. Given its mature, barrel-proof profile, it makes a powerful base for spirit-forward bourbon cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
