Hooten Young 12 Year American Whiskey

American Whiskey | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 750 mL | Indiana | Aged 12 Years | Mash Bill: 99% Corn, 1% Barley

Process & Profile

Hooten Young 12 Year American Whiskey is a long-aged American whiskey designed for a smooth, sweet-leaning sip with real maturity. The recipe is intentionally corn-forward (99% corn), giving it a rounded, honeyed sweetness that feels plush rather than sharp. It’s aged a full 12 years and bottled at 92 proof, landing in a spot that’s flavorful and full-bodied, but still easy to enjoy neat.

This whiskey is often described as fruit-and-vanilla forward with a mellow oak frame—think maple sweetness, ripe apple, and a warm, lingering finish that feels built for slow pours.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Maple, vanilla, ripe apple, soft oak
• Palate: Caramel sweetness, orchard fruit, gentle spice, creamy corn richness
• Finish: Long, smooth, and warming with lingering vanilla and oak

What Makes It Special

• 12-year age statement for deeper maturity and a longer finish
• Corn-forward mash bill (99% corn) for a smooth, sweet-leaning profile
• Bottled at 92 proof for balanced body and sip-friendly warmth
• Often matured in second-fill barrels, helping keep the oak refined and not overly tannic
• A strong pick for customers who want an “easy sipper” American whiskey with real age behind it

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat to catch the apple-maple-vanilla arc, or pour over one large cube to soften the spice and stretch the finish. A few drops of water can lift more fruit and round the sweetness even further. It also makes a great Old Fashioned-style pour if you keep sweetener light.
