Peg Leg Porker 12 Year Old Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)
One bottle only to sell.
Carey Bringle is the proprietor of the Peg Leg Porker BBQ restaurant in Nashville. In between competitive grills, Bringle spends his time sourcing high-end whiskeys which he runs through an extra filtration using hickory charcoal to contribute added flavour and colour. These are marketed under a quirky label featuring a three legged pig (Bingle lost his leg to cancer as a young man). His grandfather was friends with Lem and Hap Motlow of Jack Daniels, and their whiskey was a standard at family events, hence the strong association with Tennessee whiskey.
Bringle's 12 year old follows a NAS and an 8 year old but is even more limited - just over 800 bottles, so it's all the more surprising that a small quanity has made its way to Australia. Made from a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley, the label itself will be a talking point in any Bourbon collection. Flavourwise, it's been appropriately described as the ultimate BBQ whiskey. 46.35% Alc./Vol.
