Partnership with Hochatown Distilling Co.
DENTON, Texas – UNT Athletics and Hochatown Distilling Company have announced the launch of Mean Green Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
"We are thrilled to partner with Hochatown Distilling on the new Mean Green Reserve that showcases the UNT brand as they expand their growing footprint into Texas," UNT Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley said. "We got to experience first-hand the craftsmanship that Blue and his team put into every bourbon they distill and I know Mean Green Nation will enjoy it too."
Mean Green Reserve will be available in August in retailers across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Hochatown Distilling Company is distributed in Texas by Green Light Distribution.
"It's a privilege to partner with the University of North Texas," said Tommy "Blue" McDaniel, founder and managing partner of Hochatown Distilling Company. "We look forward to contributing to the positive impact UNT has made in the region and are excited to bring top-tier products and experiences to their alumni, fans and customers."
Hochatown Distilling Company in Broken Bow, Okla. was formed in 2015 in the heart of southeastern Oklahoma with the goal of producing the finest quality spirits. The community of Hochatown has a long history of producing quality moonshines, aided by the pristine water of the Mt. Fork River and the security of the remote bottoms and hollers of the Kiamichi Mountains.
More information on sales locations and tasting events will be announced soon. Sampling will be available at this Saturday's Mean Green Kickoff event set to begin at 5 pm in the HUB Club at DATCU Stadium.
The collaboration between UNT and the Hochatown Distilling Company was created through athletic multimedia rights holder Mean Green Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield – the leading media and technology powering college athletics, and the Mean Green Reserve is licensed through licensing agency Affinity.
